How is that less empty than boycotting the whole thing?
At least with the Opening Ceremony, which is likey watched by ALL television viewers of the Olymics and which is the main propaganda tool of the Chinese for the whole shibang, it will be noticed and widely mentioned that the U.S. (and hopefully other athletes) are boycotting to express their disapproval of the host nation. Wow, for a change, the live commentary can cease describing the live visuals for the blind TV watchers, and actually have someting to say of some substance.
Whereas with individual events, viewed by less people, there will be actual sporting events going on ... with little option or incentive to mention any boycott by atheletes of a particular nation.
