The Olympics

Opened today
Does anyone care?
-
Nope.

I used to enjoy the opening ceremonies (especially the Korean one, dunnamany years ago, it was great), but I rarely watched the rest.
-
Of course. Love these spectacles and watching our most talented youth as well as the best of the best in the world.
Will watch part of the opening…the part where Japan shows itself off to the world.
The amount of discipline that goes into becoming world class is so inspiring and I love to see the top 3 striving to win and then the third person squeaking past number 4. Doesn’t get more dramatic than this folks. Non-fiction at its best.

Yup! We DVR nearly every day and slowly watch it over the coming weeks/months. I enjoy the Olympics a lot.
-
To be honest, I struggle to care a great deal about the sports I actually watch.
-
I watched the ice skating at Lillehammer. Like everyone, I fell in love with Gordeeva and Grinkov; hated and grieved over what happened to Sergei.

I don't even have the ability to watch it (do they stream it for free somewhere?)
EDIT: apparently peacock has it for free. I might put it on as background watching here and there.

If you don't have one, buy an antenna for your tv. The net and cell towers do break down.

We enjoy parts of it. Just stumbled on the opening ceremony this morning. It was strange, but the drone stuff was really well done.
What struck me as hilarious was one of the speakers touting how “we are all equal” here. Umm…isn’t the Olympics all about who is better?
