Olympics...cancelled?

[txrunchick]

I was watching Bryant Gumble Sports Program on HBO where they went to visit the Athens site and there was a quote made by a Greek official that if they are not finished there is a possibility of no Olympics this year. If the Olympics are cancelled I will be outraged.

Methinks HBO put that story in the can prematurely. IOC signed off on its final inspection about a week ago.

What was/is the contingency venue? It must already be determined.
