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).
I have to agree with you here Skybird.
