Respond to this Article July/August 2004 Movable Feat The insanity of relocating the Olympics every four years. By Christina Larson In late March, I found myself among a busload of foreign journalists in Athens looking for something interesting to write about the upcoming Olympics. Each time we passed a bulldozer shoveling dirt or a crew with jackhammers stirring dust at one of the city's many construction sites, we'd all crane our necks and scribble notes. One British photographer pressed his camera lens against the window and snapped a round of photos as we caught a glimpse of the cranes still suspending the dramatic arching steel beams of the unfinished roof of the main Olympic stadium. An American reporter asked if the Brit would sell some of his photos to her newspaper. Her editor, she explained, was looking for the same storydocumenting the construction delays. At night in the Athens hotel, reporters frantically compared notes about which projects were most behind as they raced to meet their filing deadlines. Every big news story develops a narrative, an agreed-upon dramatic arc that daily journalists attempt to advance. In the lead-up to this summer's games, the consensus story line has been: Will Athens be ready? This theme took shape because Greece was, indeed, appallingly slow to initiate the hundreds of infrastructure projects that will be necessary to host the gamesfrom building the massive Olympic aquatic center to widening the ancient marathon route between Marathon and Athens. Greece had also been dogged by "November 17," a dangerous home-grown terrorist organization, which the country's security forces busted only in 2002.
