  Tanzania Postal Stamp ahead of 1976 Montreal Olympic Games / Tanzania among boycotts  This Eric Heath cartoon appeared in the Dominion on 2 September 1976, a month after the Montreal Olympics ended. The five Olympic rings have become the high walls of five separate stadiums, labelled 'America', 'Pacific', 'Africa', 'China' and 'Europe'. The cartoon posed the question of whether political disputes would destroy the internationalism of the Games' ideals − a genuine fear at the time, and one that appeared to be confirmed by events in Moscow (1980) and Los Angeles (1984). Could the history of boycotts be re-written as a results of Russian Ukrainian War?   Powered by: OREGE SAFARI & TOURS

"And it cannot be covered up with some pretended neutrality or a white flag, beca
