How is Puerto Rico able to participate as an individual country even though they are a Commonwealth of the United States?
Aside from any poliical issues, both Puerto Rico and Guam have National Olympic Committees and are therefore formally invited to to participate in the Olympic games. It doesn't actually matter if they are classified as a "Commonwealth associated with the United States". As long as they have and hold formal IOC recognition they can send competitors. Puerto Ricans are US citizens (with no US voting rights), but are instead self governing since 1952. Puerto Rico has been participating in the Olympics since 1948 in London. Puerto Rico even sent a very small delegation to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow despite US boycott.
Why were the Olympics held in different places?
It makes sense that it would be hosted in different countries. All the participants are from around the world and to make it just and not give advantage to any single country over another, they are designed to take place in various continents and geographies. Plus I feel like the Olympics tries not to give too much emphasis on one country being the "important" one and the best way to do that is to vary the location. Don't ya think?
