Michelle Obama is scheduled to be part of the delegation going to Denmark to try to secure the 2016 Olympics for Chicago. Along with the Secret Service, “Renaissance” (the code name by which Mrs. Obama is known to the security detail that protects her) will be accompanied by some star athletes:
“Michael Johnson, Nadia Comaneci, Nastia Liukin and Jackie Joyner-Kersee are among 14 Olympic and two Paralympic gold medalists who will travel to Denmark next week in support of Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee will choose from Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo on Oct. 2.”
