Olympics just another word for doing business
The daily Delo writes on the close of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver that despite higher revenues the International Olympic Committee has failed to give adequate financial support to athletes: "For the IOC the Games are primarily a great business yielding fantastic profits ... regardless of their result. ... Bearing this in mind it's absurd that major professional athletes participate for no money, and that finance ministers put their countries in the red by financing, in times of recession, the preparations - and even the athletes' prize money - for the biggest and most lucrative spectacle in the world with taxpayers' money."

World Cup qualification unites Slovenia
The Slovenian national football team beat the Russian favourites 1-0 on Wednesday in front of a home crowd in a qualification match for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. A game that united Slovenians, writes the daily Delo: "The stadium in Maribor - and all of Slovenia - did the wave for a united, harmonious Slovenia. This Slovenian wave was set off by the fantastic game delivered by the Slovenian team, which played its strongest trumps at the decisive moments. The Slovenian players outshone the Russian favourites and their famous trainer Guus Hiddink with exquisite football. ... Thank you for uniting Slovenia, something no one has been able to do in recent times - and for helping young Slovenes to develop a sense of self-confidence with your performance."
