If not, what use is the multibillion-dollar celebration of youthful endeavor and mostly niche sports? Through no fault of their own, the athletes who will march in massed, joyful ranks behind their nations&#8217; flags in Friday night&#8217;s opening ceremony for the first Olympic Games in&#8230;]]></description>

When Michael Phelps is involved in a swimming event, he will be the center of attraction. That’s just the way it is. Both were trying to make the Olympic team on Wednesday night.
