I wish Dirk all the best and hope he gets to live out his dream of participating in the Olympic Games. He is such a hard worker and deserves nothing but good things.

“sport itself is non-political” ??

I agree with Dirk.
Politicians, worlwide brands & T.V networks “gave” the Olympics to China.
If the athletes could have choose a city, I am not sure that the track&field pepople would have give it to Beking (Pekin).
For example, our French famous walker, Diniz (vice-World champion) said that the pollution will be a big problem for long distance people.

So sport doesn’t have to pay for politics, because they are not the one that choose China.
