Unfortunately, Olympics, as a world monopoly, have been very important for and under strong pressure of politics for the whole period of its existence. Of course, most people do not like to see how sport is being converted into a politician battlefield and manipulated by world powers. Yet, nobody knows how to remove this strong dependence. Maybe one solution would be to have two independent Olympic games in hope that they will compete for the spectators and not for the attention of politicians?
