So everyone understands, this thought is directed to countries that have totalitarian regimes in power @ the time of the Olympic event.

USA. hosted olympics 6+ times and nothing. USA won more total medals than any country and nothing. 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid N.Y. and nothin except spanking the russians in hockey and then winning the gold medal.
No, I do not agree there is any direct correlation. If what you said is true, then why did it not happen more times to more countries over the past 200 years.
You dreaming and hopelessly grasping at impossible theories. Read science fiction for the truth instead. Or just watch sports and take them for what they are, games. Go Cards!

China has changed alot from it's socialist days. They have become more indivudalistic and represent a new type of "me" generation. This forward thinking and creative process though not democracy in itself signals the massive changes that have come to China.
here are some articles about it
