Description
The idea from this image has been with me since the Olympics.
As a Brit living in the USA, it irritated me to no end when the coverage of the Olympics was all about the Americans.
It seemed that they would only show the Americans, and cut to a commercial when another country was taking it’s turn.
Yes they showed China in gymnastics and Jamaica in track and field, but what about Great Brittan, or Finland, or a country dear to my heart Denmark?
All those athletes dedicated their lives to reach the Olympics, and no they didn’t win gold.
They are the forgotten places, when every place first through last should be remembered.
Why the strange title?
Bossard is the country in blue and yellow. (Notice the markings on the airboats.)
They finished 3rd and 8th, and will be forgotten in the record books but not in the hearts of their people.
(Bossard is a fictional place, look up Francois Rabelais, for more info.)

Yep, 24 hour non-commercial coverage would take care of it, but sadly nobody would like want to pay enough in subscriptions to cover costs... a sad reality. Another fine, thoughtful premise and illustration - I'm also really impressed at your amazing ability to get so many characters into one scene. Nice job!

Nice piece, Great posing and feeling to it. You've also summed up why I haven't watched any of the coverage of the Olympics for a very long time.
