It's interesting - when we talk about the Olympics being highly-politicized, we tend to forget that it's been that way for a while. Didn't the defeat of the Soviets have a political angle to it? The boycott of the games in the early 80s? Even going back to the games involving Germany and the Nazis in the 30s, there has been a political angle.
