Is the Olympic spirit gone?

Question

I wonder if the Olympic spirit going, it's no longer about having fun and good well toward others. It's all about winning and for some cheating and trying to get away with it. Whatever happen to the compassion towards others, after all the Olympic was to united as one for a few days to show others that we do care for each other.

I guess its all about WINNING now. How sad.

Answer 1

only some americans whine coz they are losing it.

Answer 2

The Olympics have ALWAYS been about Winning. I don't know what you are talking about. Just take a look at the womens all around last night, they all congratulated each other after Nastia had nailed it.  

Answer 3

i agree. people will do anything to win. i bet the greeks never expected this to happen. what happened to coming together to play fairly for the point of playing, not winning?

Answer 4

It is a competitive event you know...people compete against each other to win medalzzzz. You must be talking about good sportsmanship which is certainly missing now!

Answer 5

well, if you're gonna put some of the best athletes in the world in one country to compete against each other, it's bound to happen
