Any Defections?

Place your bets. Remember in the old days of the Soviet Bloc, nearly every time the Olympics was held in a city in the Western world, one or more Soviet Bloc athlete would take the opportunity to defect to the West. I'm thinking that tiny delegation from Iran (what were there, four or five people?) might just file for refugee status, en masse. I can't think of any other country in the world right now that has a team at these games, that would be a prime producer of wannabe defectors.
