Sir, - I wish to thank The Irish Times for publishing on the World Wide Web. I live in Florida and like people from other countries, find it difficult to get news on the progress of non American Olympic participants in the Games.
The Irish Times was one of the first newspapers to take advantage of the power of the Internet, and as a result this Irish person has been able to keep abreast of the Irish contingent in Atlanta. We are very proud of Michelle Smith, and not so proud of the reaction of some other athletes to her achievement. - Yours, etc,
