Games to end on time
NZPA-AP Calgary The Winter Olympics will end as scheduled next Monday (N.Z. time), even if bad weather prevents all the events from taking place, said the head of the International Olympic Committee. In an interview published yesterday in the Calgary Herald, the 1.0. C. president, Mr Juan Antonio Samaranch, said he hoped the winds that have scrambled the competition schedule would abate so that all 123 events could be held. “I would like to see no winds, cold weather and some snow to turn the country white like when we arrived,” he said. But there is no way the Games will be extended past their scheduled closing in McMahon Stadium, February 28, the 1.0. C. chief said. “When I close the jGames, they aje finished.”
