Does anyone have the Iraqi Olympic Roster , what events could they possibly be in ?

ESPN reports the Iraqi team was air lifted out of Iraq and will attend the Athens Games...

Well I can tell you where the sprinters were training... Running away from Saddam's bullets.

And the distance runners were probably running surveilance from Baghdad to Syria on foot to scout the path to hide the missiles.

Pole valuters were practicing by vaulting over the palace walls during the bombings, and the Weight lifters were practicing by lifting rubble out of places Uday visited before he got quashed...

I also heard the hockey team was given lots of ice time in France by the French government.

I hear that the new soccer coach is more of a "player's coach" than the previous one, Uday Hussein. At least he doesn't hang them by the feet for losing.
