The Olympics were not always a celebration of peace and unity. In the past, they were weaponised by dictators and marred by violence and corruption.
They have however always been a recurring instrument of power, identity, and spectacle.
Bianca Nobilo takes us on a journey from the ancient games to how the Olympics became a Cold War battlefield.
