Gonna get lots of fire here. I’m prepared for that.

I understand the hate towards israel these days. I do. The whole situation sucks. But that shouldn’t cloud judges in olympic games. Where it’s about giving israeli less than deserved, or giving another more than should to prevent israeli a medal. There is an acumulation of cases, and it is getting more and more obvious.

Again, I understand where the hate comes from, But while competing under the olympic flag and fire, the purity of the sport should be kept. It was always like that. Once politics enter the games it will be ruined for ever. next games no one will believe scoring is legit. Once corrupted - always corrupted.

    “Once politics enter the games it’ll be ruined forever.”

    …Don’t tell me you don’t understand how international competitions work! Politics have been a heavy presence in the olympic games for a very long time now and it is naïve to act as though that were not the case until now.
