COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- If Olympic business is a who-you-know world of negotiations and secret handshakes, the recent makeover at the U.S. Olympic Committee couldn't have come at a more awkward time.
CEO Stephanie Streeter and another newcomer, chairman Larry Probst, are the new point people for an organization that has two critical missions over the next several months: Trying to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago and trying to do well at the Winter Olympics next February.
If they deliver, their move to the top will be considered a success. If they don't, fair or not, they're bound to get most of the blame from the multiple groups that didn't agree with the sudden rise of these relative unknowns. ESPN report
