in the 21ST century, sport has grown beyond being just a form of entertainment. It has become a most serious endeavour that earns more for both individuals and states. Even in its ancient form, individuals participate in sports for fame and glory. From its first appearance as a pan-Hellenic festival from 776 BC to 393 AD to its modern incarnation in 1896 and up till date, the Olympics has become the ultimate celebration of individual feats and the tenacity of the human spirit.
And those nations participating in the Olympics also wield their participation as a form of ideological demonstration; what has come to be known as national soft power. In Olympic history, most people will never forget Jesse Owens and his exploit at the 1936 Summer Games.
