Shroud over Turin

Posted on January 28, 2006 by Gene

I don’t understand — why is NBC promoting the Olympics by using “Torino” instead of “Turin”? It’s not that I’m against using the native version of the name, but why haven’t they done it before? I mean, they didn’t promote the last Olympics using the name “Αθήνα” (Athena). Munich wasn’t called “München”. And what about “Ciudad de México”?
Just something going through my head today. Never mind.
