Agree with Trex. Olympics are FUBAR, imo. And I can'T see in how far they are needed for athletes as ao "great chance for them to compete against the best and to test themselves and taste the rewards of their training and determination."

You can have all that in continent and world championships as well. And in fact, you already have. Including corrupt policies as well. Doping. HighTech. Commercial interests interfering with sportsmanship. Just the hypcritic idealism of how much Olympic it all is, is not there. And that hardly is a loss (the lack of Olympic hypocrisy, I mean).
