Obviously, the Olympics as it currently exists has a lot of problems - building stadiums over poor neighbourhoods, using slave labor (or close to it), promoting nationalism, etc.

But do you think the concept of "People from different countries (or regions or whatever once borders are removed) around the world compete to see who can run the fastest, throw things the furthest, jump the highest, and so on, and win some kind of prize based on their performance" is a fundamentally good one or not?

And if it is good, how do you think it would be different to the regular Olympics?

    A giant manmade island built specifically for sporting contests between the very best people in the world. No specific dates really just important and popular events filmed and watched live (tickets by lottery) at various set dates. More representation of less well known sports etc. Esp ones with a serious cash cost for example my country gets so many medals because sitting down in a boat like a posh chump events are seriously overrepresented.
