IOC's risk management

By BOB MACKIN

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Weather could be the biggest risk to the 2010 Winter Olympics, says the International Olympic Committee's Games boss.

"We are ready for that, we've been doing planning for a while," Gilbert Felli said. "If the weather goes very, very bad it's a difficult situation, but we have got experience in the past like in the Nagano Games. We are quick to take care of all the situations."

VANOC medical director Dr. Mike Wilkinson wrote in a Sept. 14 memo that the B.C. paramedics' strike was one of three major risks to the Games identified in August by the IOC Coordination Commission. He did not disclose the other two.
