Talk:Winter Olympic Games

There may be an inconsistency here. The Salt Lake City Winter Games were the 19th and were held in 2002. This means the 66th would be (66-19)X4 = 188 years later or in 2190. Yet the story says Cavendish was a bronze medal winner during the 2192 Games. Part of it is due to a change by the Olympic Committee to stagger the winter and summer games by two years so the 16th and 17th games were only two years apart. If it didn't happen (and the story was published in 1985 while the change was in 1992/1994), this would make Cavendish a competitor rather than a commentator. However, the US is a third rate power with an indication that it's major cities were destroyed in some way (maybe nuclear war but HT is vague) so some Games may have been cancelled the way they were during WW II.
