Allthough it's over six months until the event kicks off the level of media attention is gaining pace. This summer several TV-crews and newspapers from all over the world have visited the region to report back on the proceedings, including both American and Japanese newsmedia which have shown a huge interest in these events. In good ol' Japanese enthusiasm the crew from NHK Japan decided to dedicate prime-time saturday evening coverage of Torino - focusing on the history and culture of the city. My rather unexciting guess is that the attention will only increase from now on. (Wow - Mr. Oracle...)
