I think there is WAAAAY to much emphasis on the "country" and not enough 
on the athletes.  For example... the "medal count", which is meaningless 
in my opinion.  It is just a measure of how much a nation is willing and 
able to buy a medal.  It  seems strange to me that something that is 
billed to pull people together goes out of its way to point out 
differences!!

I don't have any suggestions for improvement... just complaints!!
