International sporting events, such as the Olympics, feature individuals competing in events, representing their country, which means their country at a point in time.
Countries claim credit for victories and medal tallies are primarily kept for countries, not individuals.
However, results really represent the effort of individuals, not their country. Individuals compete, not countries.
It is inferred that the energy and power of a country shows itself through the competitors who live there. This is a miniscule part of it.
Countries are just a method to bring an order to the organisation of the games.
When people begin to recognise the effort of individuals, not countries, there will be better will at the games and a better coming together of people, both competitors and spectators alike.
