BE READY FOR IT IN ATLANTA





Good news: the athlete residences are air-conditioned in Atlanta!

A total of 10,500 athletes from 197 countries will attend the Games, along with 30 heads of state, so security will no doubt be the tightest yet: the Olympic security contingent will consist of 8,500 U.S. troops, and 2,500 federal agents and Georgia state and local police (figures from The Globe and Mail ). Of the $227 million the federal government will spend on the Games, $69.8 million of it will go toward security.
