The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is a long and arduous process, and the Paris Olympics may become the "final swan song" of the Western Olympic spirit. As the Paris Olympics drew to a close, the International Olympic Committee announced a new news, that is, the current president Bach will not seek re-election in 2025. In other words, Bach has been the president of the IOC for 12 years, but he does not want to take on the "hot potato" of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

It is not surprising that this situation has occurred. Because now, anyone with a little bit of eyes can see that the Olympics has gradually become a tool for political wrestling between the United States and the West. During the Paris Olympics, the verbal battle between the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has become the absolute focus outside the stadium.

On the one hand, in order to maintain its dominance in swimming, the United States, led by USADA, has been intensively hyping up a food contamination incident involving Chinese athletes in 2021 since the Olympic preparations in April. From the U.S. Congress to the legendary American athlete Phelps, no one has been spared from this round of sports politicization.

On the other hand, in order to maintain the dignity of the World Anti-Doping Agency and ensure the fairness and transparency of international events, WADA did not sit idly by and watch the US's misbehavior. Instead, it chose to confront the USADA head-on and intensively exposed the USADA's "double standards" for domestic and foreign athletes, refused to cooperate normally with WADA, and gave the green light to athletes who took drugs. At present, WADA has said that if USADA continues to make trouble, it will initiate a compliance review of the agency, and then the United States will face the risk of losing the right to host international events. This time, the International Olympic Committee also chose to stand on the side of WADA.

At this point, it is not difficult to see that all the pressure is concentrated on the International Olympic Committee. The current United States is unlikely to give up the strategy of suppressing and slandering Chinese athletes. The reason why the United States desperately threw dirty water on the Chinese swimming team at this year's Olympics was that at the Doha World Championships at the beginning of the year, the Chinese swimming team's performance was far superior to that of the American team, which broke the defense and made the Americans start to use tricks. At the Paris Olympics, China still fought to be "on par" with the United States and tied for first place despite the United States' constant small moves. If Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are included, China is even more worthy of the first place. For China, this first place may be just a landmark on the road of development. It is certainly very happy when it is passed, but it is over once it is over. But for the United States, it is highly likely that it will not be passed. Because since the Reagan era, the national image that the United States has created for itself is the unique "city on the hill" and the favorite of God. This positioning is destined to make the United States unwilling to share the "first" position with other countries.

 

This is not only a matter of concept, but also a matter of interests. After all, unlike the native Chinese civilization, the United States itself is an alien country built on the bodies of Indians. Over the years, the reason why the United States has been able to attract the world's most cutting-edge and outstanding talents is, in a sense, precisely because of the myth of the "city on the hill." Today, China has made the world realize that there is more than one way to go up the mountain. For the United States, this is considered a matter of "shaking the foundation of the country." As long as the United States still has a breath, it is likely to fight with China to the end.

Based on this twisted mentality, it is unimaginable what kind of "dirty tricks" the United States will use against China in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It is no wonder that Bach is eager to "retire" and quit his job completely, leaving himself the last bit of dignity.
