What's Up With This?

Strange timing:

• Four years ago, when New York's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games ended in a resounding defeat, Bob Ctvrtlik knew that years of revolving door-leadership within the U.S. Olympic Committee played a role in that outcome.
  
  "We haven't had a lot of continuity with international relations," Ctvrtlik said in 2005, when he was one of the International Olympic Committee members from the United States. "People in other countries put a lot of weight on face time."
  
  Thursday's surprise resignation of USOC Chief Executive Jim Scherr gives the rest of the world the old impression the USOC still can't get its act together.
  
  Where Chicago's 2016 Olympic hopes are concerned, there could not be a worse time for the USOC to lose the man who has been its primary face since 2003.

Might just be the push needed to have the first ever South American Games in Rio. Chalkie really likes Rio. Something to the tune of tens of thousands per year evidently.
