I propose an honest Olympics. We set up a new international organization. Every four years, we select about 50 people at random from a pool of volunteers from each country. And I mean “random”, as in, “from the general population”. Not athletes. I don’t care how pathetic they are– I want to see them race, jump, throw, and swim. I want to know that the winners did it without cheating, because they couldn’t have cheated.
The competition will be held in existing sports facilities– none of this billions of dollars in new stadiums and housing crap. They can stay in the nearest college dorm.
And when they win a competition, they actually have to sing their own national anthems, solo, in front of thousands of people.
Then you get your medal.
Seriously: I would enjoy watching this way, way more than the current ugly spectacle of the Olympics.
