[Pen-l] For Iraq, just getting to Beijing is enough
For Iraq, just getting to Beijing is enough

BEIJING (Reuters) - For Iraq's athletes the Beijing Olympics has been a
rollercoaster of high hopes, heartache and relief, and that was before their
events started.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Iraq for "political
interference" in its national committee just weeks before the opening of the
Games, derailing the war-torn country's plan to send a team of seven.
Now, four of those athletes are in Beijing thanks to a last-minute decision
by the IOC to lift its ban.
