Unfortunatly the Olympics will always be a political platform.
Just as you said about Hitler at the '36 Olympics, in '68 in Mexico City, those two American runners (I forget their names), who were "Black Panthers" and their "Black Glove" salute they gave on the medels platform while the National anthem was played .
Also our boycotting the '80 Moscow games, and they returning the favor by boycotting the '84 L.A. games (na-na na-na boo-boo- my dad can beat up your dad). The games will always be used in a political platform, because of the world wide audience.
Let's also not forget the '72 Munich games. RIP
