The Olympics during the Cold war and now:

Now, during the Olympics just like during the Cold War, there are disagreements against each other (countries) and rules.
Even if there aren’t boycotts that are as significant as during the Cold War, there are protests and boycotts against the countries that are participating or hosting the Olympics.
