I've always had minimal interest in the Olympics but this year my interest is at absolute zero due to the overt politicization concerning the "flag issue'. I'll leave it at that. what flag issue ? japan rising sun or is there something else ?? i might watch something here and there, but i dont care about olympics at all untill they add a coliseum gladiatorium with the world most dangerous criminals competing for a clean sheet release back into resocialization. Also aparently skating is now a olyimpic sport, so lol.....call me when game is officially acepted, i know its been talked about. speaking of wich why is chess barred from olympics ? brain is a muscle too,its very athletic to use it. in fact im tired, im going to lay down and play some games.

Just Google it. I said what I said because I want to keep this thread PWEC-free.

Not me. Consider some of these "Olympic Sports"
BMX Trampoline 3-on-3 basketball Badminton Table Tennis Handball Surfing Skateboarding
It's like summer camp. Who cares about any of that? Not me. And certainly not as olympic competitions. Men will be competing with (and as) women. And the politics will destroy what's left. I hope this is by far the lowest rated Olympics in forever, and I can't see how it won't be. If I tune out there goes my solitary ratings point, and the people hoping to make money on it all will get a little less. If enough people do it, perhaps they'll get the message when it hits their bottom line. And isn't that what the Olympic spirit is all about?
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

The Olympics have become stranger each time. It seems that the event turns out to be a financial boondoggle for the hosts city and the television ratings seem to become more and more dismal each time. It almost seems like the "controversial" news stories are the only thing drawing any media or public attention. The athletics seems to be secondary now. But you can say that about all sports now.

For a norwegian the winter olympics is more interesting. I am going to watch though. How much is depending on time of day since Tokyo is 7 hours ahead of us. Curling is interesting rwatson. I used to play in the eighties. I have a third place in my clubs championship tournament. There were only 3 teams participating though.....

Hockey is all that really matters to me.
