I don't know what would have happened without him over there. He was our best fan. First of all, for the preparation of the games he was the absolute partner we were dreaming about. He knew what we wanted. He knew what we were all talking about because he was the architect of what happened in Vancouver. Every time we said, “Commissioner, we need this”, he would say, “Yes, but I think you forgot something. You also need this.” He was ahead of us.
He deserves incredible credit for the achievement we had over there. He was a tremendous partner.
