Most of us enjoy watching the summer olympics as is remains enjoyable. But overall, a laughable debacle where rich countries are not just content with putting forward athletes who have had all the time to train in superior training facilities, but some of them can also afford to dope and they do so rampantly!
When you watch athletes like Kenya’s 800m runner, Wanyonyi who is racing to feed his family; can barely afford his racing shoes, yet he works hard and wins gold! Hats off.
The context of the Olympics has long become laughable as you have countries whose athletes are fulltime athletes and receive huge sponsorships, can train all day, all year round, competing against countries whose athletes have to work fulltime to make ends meet and only have a few hours in the evenings to train, and do so at awful facilities and rarely have experienced coaches. It is what it is, I suppose.
It is definitely not an open playing field by any stretch of the imagination.
