OLYMPIC TICKETS

In South Hampton Roads, early birds who went looking for Olympic ticket applications forms Monday morning came away disappointed.

The forms, due to arrive in local Food Lion stores by 10 a.m., didn't begin trickling in until early afternoon, according to a spokesman for Mid-Atlantic Coca-Cola in Norfolk.

The applications, which are being distributed nationally by Coca-Cola, weren't received until late Saturday, the spokesman said. Sales people began delivering them Monday morning.

The 48-page application forms will also be available at Farm Fresh, starting Wednesday afternoon, the spokesman said.
