Sport for all isn't part of the Olympic dream
The Olympics saw some fantastic sport. The performances of Usain Bolt, Mo Farah and Almaz Ayana on the track were awe inspiring. Katie Ledecky and Michael Phelps in the pool were completely dominant. In the velodrome Laura Trott was untouchable (again), while Nicola Adams boxed with grace and power.
But the Olympics are so full of the contradictions of capitalism that it leaves me conflicted.
