Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (on winning)

"It was a great honour to get this award. I am glad that you choose me in a world of extremely strong and young athletes. Maybe the criteria was age before beauty."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bob Nicholson, Team Canada president (pledging to fight to keep NHL players in the Winter Olympic Games)

"... I truly believe that dreams are there for young boys and girls to play this great game of hockey. I'm stepping down as president of Hockey Canada, but I can tell you as vice-president of the International Ice Hockey Federation, I will work with (IIHF President) Rene Fasel, with the president of the IOC Mr. Bach to make sure that we get all the best athletes to represent our countries in the Olympic Games and let dreams live for boys and girls throughout this world. Thank you."
