I find myself enjoying the olympics for the most part. I enjoy the competition. I think it has to do with seeing the results of the mental toughness of each competitor. All of the athletes are good at what they do – for the most part, but who is good today. Seeing who has to go last and watch everyone else, or who has to go first and set the bar.
I would like to see more of the other sports though. It seems like ice skating (pairs, mens, etc.) is the main event every night with everything else as filler; unless you stay up late for the late show. I also have a big personal dislike of Bob Costas, but that is for another time.
