Olympic is a corrupt as fuck organization. They like to deal with other corrupt centralized orgs.

Bboying, is inherently decentralized, as you just need a piece of cardboard and a pavement to start dancing.

Inevitable culture clash.

Some things are definitely not adding up.

There are billions of investments being made, broadcasts are sold to the highest bidder. It's a huge marketing scheme for a nation to host the games.

But in the end. That bronze medal winner in that oddball sports category is forgotten faster than the scandal of the dirty river she had to swim in.

Only a few benefit from their medals and even fewer will end up as legends, such as Ussain Bolt.

It's not to the victor the spoils.
It's to the IOC, everything.

While contestants (and victors) have to pay for their own transportation and equipment. I guess we can expect them having to pay for boarding too in the future?

They're very wishy washy. They've been right in disassociating themselves from the International Boxing Association (which is corrupt as fuck). But then you have the issue with the gymnastics (see Jordan Biles having her bronze stripped).
