Whatever happened to the Olympic ideals? Citius, Altius, Fortius, Communiter? Apparently, going faster, higher, stronger, together, wasn’t a factor here, somehow. The fact that some particular athlete tried to be the damn best they could, yet didn’t want a particular prize anway, was of no consequence according to the public.

Damn straight we should return to Olympic ideals, but I’m afraid that while we have dipshit gatekeepers, that’s going to take its time.
