Next time, IOC should get rid of scoring and medals. It puts undue pressure on the athletes.

Maybe they should even eliminate contact sports, as someone might get hurt.

After all, schools are eliminating recess activities, such as dodge ball.

We have to think of the athletes and the devastation they must feel if they screw up (like dropping the baton or falling off the balance beam) or lose an event.

Welcome to the new world of PC.
