As the world corporate media goes Olympics mad, /Links International
Journal of Socialist Renewal/ has assembled a
range of alternative viewpoints on what modern Olympic Games really

commentators and capitalist governments loudly proclaim that ``sport and
politics don't mix'', it soon becomes apparent that the Olympics
spectacle is drenched in politics and the promotion of the worst aspects
of dog-eat-dog capitalism. But sometimes it is also a site of struggle,

Weekly/ archives, as well as other
progressive sources, reveals.
