Given the current furor over freeski gold medalist #EileenGu, I thought I would resurrect my essay about citizen-ship switching in the Olympics from the Rio Olympics.

My 1st time to watch Olympic sailing. Usually it's in a different city. Beach much more pleasant than a hot stadium!

[Susan Brownell @baosushan]
