IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch reminded the five bidding bid-ding cities to obsere the "no ws-iiN-no gifts" rules enacted after the Salt Lake City scandal. Also Wednesday. the International Ohmpic Committee rejected any ne sports for the Z004 Games in Athens, dashing the hopes of ballroom dancing, water skiing and other events campaigning to get onto the Ohmpic program Almost two ears to the da since the start of the Salt Lake scandal, the five finalists for ZOOS came to Lausanne to make their first direct pitches to the IOC executive board. Delegations from Beijing. Istanbul. Osaka. Paris and Toronto were each given 10 minutes min-utes to present tht'ir case to the board, then another 15 minutes to brief the media. The IOC pared the field to five cities last August. Its general assembly will select the ZOOS host city at its session in Moscow in July.

Toronto, which lost to Atlanta in the bid for the lst Games, .mphasicd the city's massive waterfront development project and the fact that Z5 sports venues would be within a 33 4-mile radius "If this is a contest based strictly on merit, we believe no bid can come close to what we are putting forward." bid leader John Bitove said.
