sports fans – possibly among the most passionate in the world – will not only be cheering but will also be glorifying the US’s performance as another example of the “exceptionalism” of their country.
This official medal table provided by the IOC for information ranks nations by the number of gold medals. By doing so, they are pandering to the American ego and obsession to be first, no matter what. They are also doing their country’s Olympics committee – that seeks to adhere to the “Olympic spirit of developing the values and ideals of Olympism in those who visit and to promote tolerance and understanding in these increasingly troubled times in which we live to make our world a more peaceful place” – a disservice.
It is noticeable that when the US mainstream media reports the medal count, the comments page is turned off so that fair-minded sports fans are unable to provide feedback, including those who see the American table as illustrative of the emperor strutting around in his imaginary clothes. In an angry Instagram video tirade, he ranted: “Listen, I’m just going to be honest. I am angry at that swim, I’m angry for a number of reasons.
What Hawke was insinuating without a shred of evidence was that Zhanle could not have achieved his swim without the assistance of drugs.
