The hallowed rings




So even the Olympic Flag is on sale here?! I'm a bit old fashioned, so to me this almost blasphemy.

I mean, you're not supposed to handle the hallowed five rings unless you are, say, a military officer of the Belgian Army who just won the Modern Pentathlon on the back of a pure bred Arabian horse, or a Romanian gymnast who got 11 points for her artistic skills. Or at the very least an old fascist named Samaranch!

Also, the games aren't supposed to be in Rio, LA or Sydney, but in obscure European resorts with weird names like Cortina d'Ampezzo and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Moscow is good, too.
