Not everyone is ready to declare Romney a gold medal winner for his Olympic performance. David Wallechinsky is an author and the vice president of the International Society of Olympic Historians. He said the Romney improved the situation in Salt Lake, but that the claim in the Romney ad, that he "helped save the Olympics" is too broad. The bribery scandal was a low point for the Olympic movement, Wallechinsky said, but it wasn’t an existential threat. "It wasn’t going to threaten the Olympic movement, which survived two world wars, major boycotts and terrorist attacks," Wallechinsky said.
