I don't mean to say that anarchists in real life spend their time discussing how to bring down the Olympics. A more precise framing is that if there were lunatic-jerk-criminals who decided to sabotage the Olympics and it was later revealed that they identified politically as anarchists, I would not be especially surprised.
Your position that the Olympics are the opposite of nationalism is a new one to me, though. I think I'd probably disagree. Kathleen Powers wrote in 2021 [1] that
nationalism is woven into the fabric of the Olympic Games, I found it convincing enough.
