the current examples are a disaster, they should have been curtailed re covid, recent games were proven to be corrupt, it's just a cash cow and nobody cares about it any more, like everything else the time to put it to rest is overdue. https://www.thrillist.com/news/natio...olympic-venues

The Olympics can give "chicken skin" moments even if it's not about an American.

Lydia Jacoby, first Olympic swimmer born in Alaska, wins gold for the US –and for Seward (msn.com)
I like those Cinderella stories where an unknown comes from behind for an unexpected victory. She had a "Look at Mills" Olympic moment. Lydia Jacoby came from Alaska which has one Olympic size swimming pool in the whole state. Billy Mills was a Native American from 1960's Souh Dakota. There was a movie about Billy Mills titled "Running Brave." Both of these underdogs did it at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
