They USED to mean peace, but, not anymore with the doping and the way some of the athletes act (thinking of the way the man who lost the coin toss to carry the American flag in the Opening Ceremonies claimed the coin toss was racist) and the athletes disrespecting the President/Vice President of the US and the VP not standing when the host country athletes came in…..
Ancient Olympic Games were a political tool used by city-states to assert dominance over their rivals. The games were basic combat training. Is it any different today?

How do you get stone tablets to float? Are they some sort of volcanic pumice?
