Umm.... How about it's a chance for amature athletes to shine and have a chance to get their 15 minutes. It also brings attention to non-mainstream sporting events (I bet you enough Canadians started watching skiing because we did so good at in the 2006 Winter). Additionally, it brings an entire nation together, get behind their country and cheer for a common goal. Finnaly, it brings tourism for the hosting country (which means money), and possibly it gives a country bragging rights.
