Olympic Games is PL OK, except . . . . . please change your file name by removing the underscore between olympic_games, and upload to the lynnet's folder again.

Sorry, I realised I'd mispronounced a name*, and have just uploaded a revised version of the file for Section 12 https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/redreign_12_durland_128kb.mp3 *Durland's transliterations aren't what's usual nowadays - in this case, it seems to be Goremykin, rather than, a...
