athletes behind i think would be tragic and i hope they stand behind the diplomatic decision, but let the athletes compete. >> there is no indication that the athletes will be part of the boycott. i think that's very important that we need to note that for americans who are very much looking forward to seeing their games. that said, does the diplomatic boycott have any effect on the athletes as they're trying to perform their best? >> i don't think it has any effect at all on the athletes. they have been training, they have been working, they have been sacrificing, they're spending their time looking at the skills that they have, and the moment that they're going to be a part of. the diplomats has nothing to do with this whatsoever. it is all about the athletes and their opportunity to represent our country. there is no greater feeling than putting a usa jersey on, not like a super bowl or a stanley cup. it comes every couple of years and the olympic games, every four years for each sport, and when you train that hard and that long, just you want that
