The Winter Olympics (a haiku)

Nations send their best
But who goes home with the gold —
Champions or brands?

 
* When national athletes train in distant lands; when they become ex-patriots just to get into the games; when the pressures and benefits of sponsorship outweigh those of the competition itself, you can’t help but wonder if maybe some of our Olympic integrity is (pardon the pun) skating on thin ice.
