We feel privileged to join the 10,500 sportspersons from 202 countries and thousands of sports lovers from across the universe to salute the Greeks for their marvellous display of history, culture, sports and hospitality during the just concluded Olympics 2004. A country with a population of a few million inhabitants could mesmerize all of us with their incredible passion and zest for life and all that is worth admiring, appreciating and enjoying. The security the Greeks offered to all was second to none. Who on earth can compete with such gigantic human beings with those rich and noble traditions ? The world has still to learn a lot from the great Greeks !
