The real losers are the athletes. Men and women who train all of their lives for a chance at Olympic glory are suddenly made to feel like pawns in a petty chess game, or worse, targets in a war zone. On- ly a drug -addled idealist could believe sports and politics could be separated. A writer – I can't remember who – once said politics is involved in any group of people larger than two. Before the Olympic flame flickers and dies forever, basic changes have to be made. One way to eliminate at least soiree of the politics is to give the Games a permanent home. My idea is not new and Greece – the home of the Olympics – has often been mentioned as a good permanent site. The Games must be based in a country that is str*ble and large enough to handle the responsibity. The host country should also be one that does not actively seek worldwide political gratification and would hold the Games in the spirit of ' sports and international friendship. In ad- dition, the country should be basically neutral and internationally respected – like Canada. Canada is a country with no aspirations of world dominance. We have little desire to impose our will on the rest of the world. If given the Olympic Games we would, I believe, be flattered by the honor bestowed upon us and endeavour to make the Games as successful as possible. All other par- ticipating countries could contribute money to help ease the financial burden. Indeed, the only political points to be made would be to ::ee which country contributed the most mosey. Canada ha ; many friends international- ly and very few enemies. Most countries coming to Canada for the Games would feel at home and very comfortable in the knowledge that here sport is what matters. If there is one country in all the world that will not try to make political hay out of the Olympic Games, it is Canada. AVAILABLE AT ...
