From the “Daily News of the Torino Olympiad” of May 23:
“The letter of apology
“The Organising Committee of the 37th Chess Olympiad wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Japan for the unforgivable mistake of having shown the forbidden Imperial flag at the Opening Ceremony.
“It goes without saying that there was no intention of offending the great nation of Japan or its people who have our total admiration. We renew our profoundest apologies.”
