The Olympics are starting in only a few days, and I got this press release giving you a way to give your best wishes (or last-minute advice <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />) to our sailors.

I sent a message to the e-mail address in the press release and put "Tornado team" in the subject line. Hope it gets to them.
