HOME Pins for Sale or Trade My Collection ... Contact Us Find a Pin Enter keywords or cat # My passion for collecting Izzy pins from the Atlanta Olympic Games began with this beautiful Oldenburg horse. He was foaled the day before the Opening Ceremonies, while his owner was in Atlanta for the Games. Oldenburgs are named using the first initial of their sire (in this case, Impuls). In keeping with tradition and to honor the Atlanta Games mascot, the horse was named Izzy. Three years ago, shortly after Izzy came to live on my farm in Catawissa, I was looking for something "Izzy" to give as a birthday gift. Searching on eBay, I noticed Izzy pins, bought one, and was hooked. One year and 700 pins later, I wrote to thank that eBay seller, John D. Gregor, for introducing me to the wonderful world of Izzy pin collecting. John had been the Pin Section Editor of the Official Pin Guide of the 1996 Olympic Games. He enjoyed my letter so much, he sent me this rare and coveted pin of Izzy reading the Pin Guide! According to Bob Izzi, the premier Izzy collector and expert, I probably have the 4th or 5th most complete collection of Izzy Pins in the world. Each day is a new day to search for new pins. Every collector understands the thrill of the hunt!

"The first years after Athens took the Games the progress of preparations were disappointingly slow," Rogge told Greece's Ethnos newspaper. "In recent years though the progress achieved by Athens organizers and the government is impressive." Rogge, who was chief overseer of the Games before taking over the IOC in 2001, said he would continue to worry until the opening ceremony. "The hosting of the Games is a great responsibility and it is not something that can be taken lightly," he said. "Security remains the number one priority." Greece has budgeted $750 million on security the biggest amount in Olympic history and plans to deploy a 50,000 security force during the Games from August 13-29.

Yalcin Aksoy, the head of the Turkish city's bidding committee, told Reuters that as Istanbul spanned two continents not only geographically but socially, culturally and religiously it was well placed to fulfil Olympic ideals. "We believe only Istanbul gives a chance for the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to choose a location which will challenge that conflict and create an awareness of a bridge between civilizations, cultures and religions," he said. Istanbul, which has a population of 10 million, said it would host all events and house all athletes in one village between two main clusters of venues on Istanbul's European shores. "We have a good project, a very compact one and we'll be able to display all 28 sports in one city and in one village for the athletes," Aksoy said.
