Chemists Make Olympic Rings On a Molecular Scale

They are still meaningful to the athletes. The olympians that I have met (all Team USA Track & Field) pretty much ignore the politics as much as possible. They just want a chance to compete.

Then perhaps the athletes can organize and pay for their own show?

I personally gave up on them when they started letting Pro Athletes into the games. Those Basketball and Hockey dream teams were the exact opposite of what the games should be. I remember how exciting it was in th e1980 winter Olympics, when the US beat the professional (foro all intents and purposes) Russians. Fast forward to the professionals today, and you can understand why the world will root against you.

It was a disappointment when they changed the women's gymnastics purposefully to favor extreme small size. It changed that sport from graceful ladies to little trolls on the mats.

Finally, the endless "gifts" for the selection committees, the frank bribes as in the Salt Lake City incident, the corrupt judges, and you have a must miss event.
