IOC has different rules that the international ski association. In the world championship you actually have to qualify to be able to participate.
This is a rule to keep the clowns out.
I would love to have more qualified athletes in the olympics instead of a bunch of tourists.
Do you know the purpose and values of the Olympics?? The IOC specifically opens up to these nations. I don’t think they are considered tourists, despite how slow they may be.
Values of the olympics. Are you talking about corruption and pro doping?
But of course, these tourists fits NBC's way to treat sport.
Like I thought, go read a bit and educate yourself. Your cultural stereotypes are rather pathetic to listen to all the time.
The history of the IOC is full of horrible people.
Just take the IOC president from 1952 - 1972 Avery Brundage.
He was a horrible racist
Also the history of amateurism is mostly the upper class trying to keep faster and poorer athletes away from the games.
Just look at sport from 1880 and forward. The olympics from 1896 fits good into that.
And of course this guy
But feel free to educate me
