Jim Scherr Few Quotations

We want to make sure to emphasize that the action of a few will reflect on the many.

We will make sure our edicts are followed to the highest degree. And overall, we've had almost all our athletes and teams do that. It's unfortunate that a few athletes have colored the rest of the delegation.

Unfortunately a few can color the rest of the delegation, but that's life.

This team has taken a bit of a hit because of the expectations of some high-profile athletes. It was a case of mismanaged expectations and some unforeseen circumstances. But we'd hope a few incidents would not overshadow what we view as a great performance by our team.

Prior to Salt Lake, we were an afterthought as a winter sport nation. We had won a few medals, the highest being 13. But we really weren't considered one of the powers in the Winter Olympic Games.

They have a very defined strategy for success at these games. They'll focus on sports where they've traditionally been strong, then they'll look to pick up opportunities in sports where they can, and maybe take a few medals from us in track and field and swimming. If you look at it, it's a very cost-effective, smart strategy.

It's unfortunate that a few colored the rest of the delegation. We will be making some significant adjustments going into Beijing and Vancouver.
