Is it only me who gets a feeling everytime I watch winter olympics, that they could easily be called rich man’s olympics. A sort of a feeling that attaches them to something elite, private schoolish, like rugby, while summer olympics is sort of working classish.
Thats probably, because majority of participation in these games is from rich industrialized nations, or probably, because, third world can’t even afford to fund their athletes for these games, and has to rely on donations from non residents/expats.
