GRAND FORKS -- Oh, no; say it isn't so! Not as many gold medals as expected?
Here's my suggestion: Take one of our nice, small towns here in North Dakota, build a multibillion dollar complex where every promising 8-month-old child is sent to be "sorted," "assayed," "mentored" and so on into the sport in which they'll spend the next 25 years doing nothing-but.
It'll work, I'm telling you. Then, we'll show those other superpower countries what the Olympics is all about.
