The space suit guy is so funny to me. It looks like since they didn’t want to make it look like a NASA space suit, so they just copied some cartoon space suit.

Are you seriously comparing the world’s greatest democracy with the world’s worst dictatorship?

The Olympics has always been political. Refer to the 1936 Berlin Olympics for starters.

The United States Olympic Team made a grand entrance, team uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren, were the best dressed team there, elegant simplicity at its best. I wish all of them luck there./Just Asking - seoul62......

I don’t want to see the kid accused of making a political statement. He won't be -- the flag had to be affixed to the pole by some slave laborer, then given to the kid by some higher functionary who probably didn't have a clue, but both of them will be "reeducated" for the next ten or fifteen years while the kid goes to college in the U.S. ...
