A late, late night last night.
After watching the Olympic flame arrive at the Acropolis at 2100 last night we thought our day's work was just about done.
Then the Costas Kenteris story broke and a whole new day's work began.
My head finally touched the pillow at 0410.
After 3 hours sleep I was up again working on the story again.
All our carefully organised and crafted Opening Ceremony pieces are going to have to undergo substantial re-workings and many hours of work are now going to end up on the cutting room floor.
Such is the nature of the news business.
The coach from the media village this morning was filled with chatter in a dozen different languages but one word didn't need translation -- Kenteris.
