It's not necessarily the Olympics that's the issue it's the clown show from Brazil. They were so ill equipped to take on an event of this magnitude and thus this debacle has pushed the IOC to go with smaller more economical Games from here on out.

So in that respect, this may be a blessing in disguise.

Gotta feel bad for the athletes having to compete in substandard venues with HORRIBLE housing and the high risk of the Zika Virus being contracted, not to mention the risk of AIDS in a country like Brazil as well.

As GOTY said, these athletes are going to be remembered more for their trials and tribulations than a lot of athletes in previous Games.
