Martial Arts
It is no miracle, that Bernard Bouton from France manages to gain new aspects from the different disciplines of the Olympic Games. It is all martial arts, so his thesis, whether it is baseball, basketball, football, boxing, fencing or shooting. But the opponent is always the same: the Magna Carta of human rights, which is being kicked, shot, stabbed or simply thrown in the waste (paper) basket. The fact that these are the official icons of the organising sports officials from China shows the flexibility of sports icons. Depending on the political situation and the ruling system, they are charged with semantic contents in stark contrast to the official reading - here the fundamental peaceful idea of the Olympic Games.

It would be great to have one that's also translated to Chinese - just in case anyone in their government doesn't quite get it.
