Well, that’s a sad thing that Hitler himself use it to glorify the Nazism. Fortunately for all man-kind, Jesse Owen silenced Hitler’s so-called “master race” theory in the track and event. Even right now, I’m still delighted that he made Hitler humbled.
My country also once had sports and politics in the mixture. And in the end, disaster.
Sorry folks, even I really wish to become a left-wing member, I prefer the Commonwealth-type of Labour Party’s idea.
I started watching Olympic since 1992 and from that on I respect this sacred sports event even the host themselves is a failure.
I pity the Olympic Games itself that the Western civilisations’ fore-father, the Ancient Greeks started it. And now, their current generation wishes to abandon this game. Really, I pity the Ancient Greeks right now. Mainland Chinese? Why should I.
