Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear device. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project.
On the same date, the head of the International Olympic Committee visited Hiroshima at the ambition of winning Nobel Peace Prize.
Hiroshima is known throughout the world as the first (and only) city decimated by a nuclear have taken place in in the world. The damage it caused, along with the implications that followed, explain why it is so well known, even today.
The effects of Hiroshima continue to shape the way we think about wars and bombings. It was also one of the most important turning points in World War II because it caused the Japanese surrender.
The Olympic Games have long been used as a political tool, especially as a tool of global publicity and to give a good political image. The Berlin Olympics went ahead and, as expected, were used by the regime as a platform for pro-Nazi propaganda.
The Olympic Games are not, and must never be, a platform to advance political or any other potentially divisive ends.
If the IOC plans on preventing any political statements, needs to ask for resignation to the head of the International Olympic Committee.
