Every country when they have Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, there are not many people in the world who get to experience the Olympic Games.
Not a lot of people get to go to the Olympics - especially with the chance I've got.
The Olympic Games are a national cause, and a national cause calls for a nationwide attitude.
Even if you've been involved in a World Cup, the Olympics is huge. Only the Games has the power to change communities.
No one pretends anymore that the Olympics are just about sports. It's routine to talk about what effect holding the Games in this or that capital will have on the host country's international reputation, how a nation's prestige can be raised by its medal count.
They want the Olympics. We ought to make sure they don't get the Olympics.
The Olympics is an imperfect interregnum, the parade of nations a fantasy about a peace never won. It offers little relief from strife and no harbor from terror.
It's never easy at the Olympic level. Russia, Romania and China always are contenders.
The Olympics have their own unique atmosphere and energy. People might say it's just the same as any other competition, but don't kid yourself. There's a hunger for victory.
Outside the Olympics, there are massive discrepancies within all sports. But the positive side for me is that the Olympics are the biggest platform there is, and there's total equality across all sports.
