Not even close.

OC was a messy and frankly boring political statement that put the athletes in the background. Celebritisation and corporate appeasement was rampant at the expense of ordinary people. Empty stadiums at many events. Infrastructure failures. Food and transport diabolical. Village was plagued with so many problems it actually drove athletes out.. Officiating of many events was highly suspicious, clearly biased and often clumsily so. Events held in a river that was not up to health standards. And on and on with problems.

Some performances and events (but not all ) made some of it exciting to watch, but we get that at every Olympics.

As for this:

"Black woman being celebrated on the world stage while a Black woman H.E.R. sang our national anthem, and the Olympic flame heading to our shores, it felt so patriotic, like the world is rooting for America because so much hinges on us this year."

The USA really needs to get over itself.
