The President of the IOC himself, Dr Jacques Rogges, stated at the end of 2003 that he was "amazed" by the progress and that he was convinced that "fantastic" games will take place in Greece.
I sam predsednik MOK-a, dr. Žak Rog, izjavio je krajem prošle godine da je "zadivljen" napretkom koji je postignut i ubeđen da će u Grčkoj biti održane "fantastične" igre.
