China :
Raluca Batanoiu raises an interesting debate in his article pointing out the fact that the Olympic movement cannot dilute the hostility amongst nations. Is it a war by proxy? The deep-rooted nationalist sentiments lead to more or less a war by proxy. The medals mean more than a territory.

forget olympics any other sporting event like world cup etc. india-pakistan cricket or hockey matches had always been virtual wars where losing was not an option till a few years back. in football argentina-brazil matches were wars too... then don't forget the dutch-english soccer matches and all other games.

I don't think that the Olympics is a war zone and the athletes in various disciplines are soldiers of different divisions fighting a multi-pronged war in different theaters. If it is so, I welcome such a war where only sweat is shed and there is no blood.
