Eurovision is the same. Though yearly, limited to Europe, and not taken anywhere near as seriously as the olympics, it's an important political event imo. The late disqualification and the voting this year had me on the edge of my seat. Russia haven't been able to show up without being drowned out by booing for a decade, for their anti-LGBT law changes and then for their invasion of Ukraine amongst other things. No so-called miracles on ice happen at Eurovision but the politics run a lot deeper than just countries keeping to their voting blocs lol. The politics are always going to be a part of these kinds of events
