  • The Olympics were fun when America dominated and occasionally got comeuppance from rival powers.
  • Tim argues you can't have the Olympics unless everyone competes or no one does—Russia and North Korea should all be in.
  • Politics shouldn't mix with sports, but a Russian announcer makes the point that Americans in Iraq were never sanctioned in the sports world.
  • Tim says the real drama is Russians and Ukrainians, Israelis and Palestinians competing against each other—not boring countries like Sweden.
