We all have our point of view, eye.
You cannot keep politics out of such global events - from Hitlers attempt to have an aryan olympics in Munich 1936, through to the tragic events, again at Munich in 1972, when the hostage taking, siege and deaths of the israeli athletes was played out on Camera. You had politics intruding in the games when the USA and Russians played tit for tat boycotts.
That segment of the show, brief as it was, served as a reminder that there is more to the Olympics than spectacle, money, corporate branding, zil lanes and all the other stuff surrounding the games. It was good to see some representatives of internationalism, human rights, equality for all, and simple human dignity.
