The Clyde Dialogues: Five Ring Circus
The International Olympic Committee has botched it, Clyde.
The Olympics were reborn in 1896 as a celebration of human physical capacity and a mechanism to foster the brotherhood of nations.

There is nothing to be done but tear the whole edifice down and start from scratch.

And about the implications they pose for the human future.
