Hi Webcast Team & Tim Klassen
Thanks for a great and professional looking site. I would, however, like to echo the sentiments of Tim Klassen (Team Manager - Team Canada) : where are the results? At least a listing of the medal standings would be nice. I know the South African team are proud of our 18 medals from a team of 18 athletes. Tim - beat that if you can!! ;-) I think it would be nice to compare against other countries to see how we all did and to set our sites for the next games in Japan.
Thanks again, webbies,

Great job on the web-site and the coverage of the World Transplant Games. These were my first games and I had a great time. It is wonderful to be able to look back on the many memories which we will have for a lifetime! I'm looking forward to my second games in Kobe, Japan. See you there.

Just a note to thank you for all your great work at the games. Your site has captured all the sites and sounds of a great tournement of life and laughter. Attached is a memory of mine at the 12th World Transplant games in Budapest. Thanks for all the great photographs and memories.

To all the gang at Transweb and to all the participants in Budapest It is now post-games and I am back in Toronto and back at the office. Just taking a little re-visit to the Games via the site and wanted to express my thanks and congratulations to everyone involved - the athletes, supporters, and the Transweb people. You all were winners and a real joy to deal with and be around. My only problem is that I cannot access any results via the webpage. Any ideas or suggestions?

Je voudrais remercier toute l'organisation Hongroise pour la réussite de ces magnifiques Jeux Mondiaux à Budapest. Toujours beaucoup d'émotions partagées lors de ces rencontres sportives. J'attends impatiemment les prochains Jeux pour vivre à nouveau de grands moments. Bravo à Transweb pour leurs reportages et leurs magnifiques photos, mais dommage il n'y a pas les résultats). Un grand bonjour à tous les athlètes transplantés. Vive la vie

Just like to wish all the athletes in Budapest 'Good Luck!' My Mum (Jean Roberts) is representing Great Britain in her first World Games and we are all delighted and very proud of her achievements. Unfortunately, the media here choose not to cover such a worthy event and so it is only through Transweb that we can experience some of the fun and excitement which is taking place in Hungary. So keep up the good work Transweb and Good Luck to the 'Auld Yin' in the swimming!

Hello and congratulations athletes! I just received a single lung transplant on January 31, 1999, and hope that I too can compete in the Transplant Olympics being held in Orlando, Florida. I do know that if I can't compete by then, that I will definitely be there as a spectator to cheer you all on! After all, you are all winners! Best Wishes,

Glad to finally find your site - there isn't a link form the NKF page to you but the office let me know your URL - maybe you can get them to put a link up so others can find you. Keep up the great work. How about some pics of our U.S. team and individual athletes - I didn't see any coverage of them in the Opening Ceremonies collection. And a BIG Hi to TeamSoCal!!!! Cheers, Erik

Good Evening: It is now 20:15 hours, September 6, 1999, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and I just logged onto the website. What a great idea to transport information on the games to everyone (or at least everyone who has a computer and an internet connection). Good luck to all the participants and a special good luck to all those representing Canada. For all those Canadian football fans, Hamilton defeated Montreal, Saskatchewan defeated Winnipeg, and, Edmonton defeated Calgary (a free gift from Calgary who refused to kick a field goal to tie the game, but, instead chose to gamble at the one yard line on the last play of the game, and, guess what, they blew it).

Great job, TransWeb team! Covering the Games is a great way to continue to raise awareness of the need for donors. Your photographers seem to have the gift of capturing the spirit of both the Games and the generosity of the Hungarian people.

Donnez-moi de vos nouvelles par e-mail si vous le pouvez. Donnez-moi également la date et l'heure de votre retour à Zurich. Peut-être que je viendrai vous réceptionner (si vous ne rentrez pas au compte-goutte!!). Envoyez-moi des messages car j'ai déjà des remords de ne pas être venu avec vous.

Congratulations to everyone there at the World Games. Through Transweb's efforts we back home are able to follow you over there and I must say feel like we are missing out on a really fun filled event by not being there in person. The opening ceremonies' music and dancing (not to mention the home town hospitality) looks and sounds wonderful (through the sight and sounds of the Transweb website). Have a really great Games. The service you are doing in educating the world of the success of the organ transplant process can be measured in the lives saved through the increased donations that follow you. Keep up the good work, Ellie, Bob, and the whole web team - we are depending on you and I have to say, the first day's efforts are wonderful....

Hello to all in Budapest! I just finished listening to the "Parade of Athletes" and the "Opening Ceremonies Address" and I have to say it made my eyes misty. I felt like I was there and I was really wishing I was. These are the first games I have missed since Singapore, due to circumstances unrelated to health, and when my Canadian Team members were preparing to go it was heartbreaking. But to be able to read the updates and to listen to events is just fantastic. A job well done to all of you. I am looking forward to each days events and feeling like I am there with everyone. Keep up the good work and if you see a crazy Canuck please say hi for me and good luck!

Sincerely,
Steve Moore
