"People were walking in the streets, young couples strolled along holding hands, children were playing," he said. "But there was fear."
Though last week was marked by some of the worst shelling and death in the war's history, Carrard said the IOC group came away with the feeling that it was time to at least start thinking about rebuilding sports stadiums and programs.
Olympic officials support Sarajevo
Committee pledges matching donations The Associated Press
Koss, a Norwegian national hero who set world speed skating records with both his golds, urged his 4.3 million countrymen to each donate 10 Kroner — about $1.43 — for every gold medal won by a Norwegian.
LILLEHAMMER, Norway — The International Olympic Committee said yesterday it will match any money donated by Olympic athletes to ease the suffering in war-blasted Sarajevo, where death stalks venues built for the 1984 Winter Games.
"This can only be done when the reconstruction has begun, which is not yet," Carrard said. "But we have word that many organizations and companies around the world are ready to rebuild Sarajevo for the young athletes."
"The eyes of the world are on Sarajevo," said Francois Cararrand, the IOC's director general, on his return with committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch from an unprecedented three-day trip to the Bosnian city.
The IOC delegation went to Zetra stadium, where opening and closing ceremonies for the '84 Winter Games were held. The stadium's soccer field is a cemetery, and U.N. troops use it as
The United Nations and the IOC called for an "Olympic truce" in all the world's trouble spots during the Winter Games.
A cease-fire that has been in effect for several days left the city "totally quiet" during the IOC visit. Carrard
"If an athlete gives 100 Kroner to Sarajevo, we will give 100 Kroner," he said. "If an athlete says, 'I will give 50,000 Kroner,' we will match it."
Carrard praised Koss and made an additional pledge.

The IOC announcement followed speed skater Johann Olav Koss's pledge Wednesday to donate $32,000 in Olympic bonuses to Lillehammer Olympic Aid, a relief agency for projects in Sarajevo and other besieged areas.
THE NEWS in brief
WASHINGTON
Clinton changes stance on involvement of U.S. in peacekeeping missions
In a revamped, still-classified proposal, the Clinton administration said the United States should retain command over its military forces involved in United Nations peacekeeping missions.
The proposal drafted by President Clinton's national security team is a substantial reversal from a policy contemplated last year that would have involved rapid expansion of U.S. involvement in peacekeeping and the acceptance of U.N. command over U.S. troops.
Under the new proposal, titled "Presidential Decision Directive 13," the United States would yield operational control of military forces only on a case-by-case basis and could overrule an order from a U.N. commander. The United States would not establish any separate military force for participation in U.N. operations, contrary to Clinton's statements during his presidential campaign.
With memories of successful international cooperation in the Persian Gulf War still fresh, Clinton last year spoke favorably of U.N. peacekeeping missions. Then in October, 18 Americans were killed and more than 70 wounded in a firefight in Mogadishu, Somalia. Questions arose about whether poor communication between U.S. forces and peacekeepers from other countries worsened the casualty count.
SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS. Mexico
The government's peace envoy, Manuel Camacho Solis, announced yesterday that the talks would be in the southern state of Chiapas, but said he would not specify where until Sunday for security reasons.
Talks planned to end uprising
Rebel and government negotiators will meet Monday at an undisclosed location in southern Mexico to try to negotiate an end to a 6-week-old uprising.
The announcement followed Wednesday's release by the rebel Zapatista National Liberation Army of a former Chiapas governor who was kidnapped from his ranch Jan. 2, a
day after the rebellion broke out.
Peasants in southern Mexico have long complained about exploitation, poverty and landlessness and say the government has ignored their plight. Chiapas, which borders on Guatemala, is the poorest state in Mexico.
The formerly unknown Zapatistas took control of several cities Jan. 1 to demand better treatment. At least 107 people, mostly rebels and civilians, died in fighting that ended with a unilateral cease-fire called by the government Jan. 12.
WICHITA. Kan.
Woman takes blame for attack
A woman awaiting trial for the wounding of a Wichita abortion doctor last summer says she is responsible for a 1992 attack that closed an abortion clinic in Chico, Calif.
Shelley Shannon, 37, of Grants Pass, Ore., told The Wichita Eagle that she told Chico police in a Jan. 1 letter that she doused the abortion clinic with foul-smelling butyric acid in 1992. The attack forced the closing of the clinic for a week.
The letter also informed police that government officials in Oregon and in Wichita had proof that Elaine Bell, an abortion protester from Redding, Calif., did not commit the attack.
Shannon is charged with attempted first-degree murder in the Aug. 19 shooting of Dr. George Tiller outside the Wichita clinic where he performs abortions.
Bell was a suspect in the Sept. 17, 1992, attack at the Chico clinic, but police dropped the criminal case because of a lack of evidence. After that, the clinic filed a civil suit against Bell asking for an unspecified amount in damages. The case is scheduled to go to trial Feb. 28.
Shannon told the Eagle that she couldn't understand why clinic officials thought Bell was responsible for the Chico attack.
"Everybody seems to think ... that I'm just trying to take the credit for it," she said. "My attorney and everybody thinks like I want to be a martyr or something."
Carol Downer, founding director of the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Centers — a chain of abortion clinics — said she didn't believe Shannon committed the attack.
"It may be a strategic move on their part to create one big martyr and draw the heat off other people," Downer said.
