下面我们来看习惯的英语报道：
Juan Antonio Samaranch, a former International Olympic Committee president, died Wednesday. He was 89.
前国际奥林匹克委员会主席胡安·安东尼奥·萨马兰奇于周三去世，享年89岁。
The Quiron Hospital in Barcelona said Samaranch died after being admitted with heart problems.
巴塞罗那的吉隆医院宣布萨马兰奇是因为心脏问题医治无效去世的。
Samaranch headed the IOC from 1980 to 2001. He retired as the second-longest serving president in the history of the IOC. He was succeeded by current president Jacques Rogge.
萨马兰奇在1980年到2001年间执掌国际奥委会。他是国际奥委会历史上任期第二长的主席。他的继任者就是现任奥委会主席雅克·罗格。
Samaranch was a reserved but shrewd dealmaker whose 21-year term was marked by the unprecedented growth of the Olympics and the Salt Lake City corruption scandal.
萨马兰奇是一位保守而又精明的生意人。在他21年的任期内，奥林匹克运动得到了史无前例的发展壮大，不过也发生了盐湖城这样的腐败丑闻。
