I met a girl in Hawaii a few years ago who had an Olympics rings tattoo on her shoulder - she competed in swimming in I think '08, but not for the US (I want to say Guam or the Philippines). She was sort of apologetic when she felt explained that and I felt bad she felt she had to.
Here's my .02 on the American competing for Belarus - US gymnastics is so shady and non-transparent, and gymnasts' careers are so short, that I don't see anything wrong with doing what she did. She wanted to compete in the Olympics after dedicating her whole life to the sport and is doing so for another country under the rules established by the Olympic committee? Then so be it. Vaya con dios, Kylie. She's the one who has to live with herself once the Olympics are over.
