I have mixed feelings about the boycotts. I know the human rights issues China is dealing with are important, but I also think the athletes suffer and it's not their fault the games they are competing in happen to be in China. They spend a lot of their life training and dreaming, so it seems unfair for them not to get their chance, or have their countrymen turn their backs on them. "Oh well, better luck next time!"... in four years!
