I always thought that the Olympics were for determining the best
athletes, not the most athletic country.  I think it's this sort of
attitude that leads to boycotts.  The real Olympic winner is not Canada
or the U.S.; it's the athletes, and I hope they punch anyone who asks
them things like, "do you ever wonder whether you would have won this
medal if the Soviets had been there?"  Let's take the politics out of
the Olympics.
