Sports historian explains the Olympics' political connections

The Winter Olympics opening ceremony highlights the inherent political nature of the games, according to a sports historian. Sports historian Stacy Lorenz states that the Olympics are fundamentally political, a fact often denied by Olympic officials, and this will likely be evident during the games. Concerns have been raised about ICE agents' presence, and intense rivalries, like those between Canada and the U.S. in hockey, are expected to reflect geopolitical tensions.
