Sure I like to root for my country in certain events... but in all honesty, the reason I watch the Olympics is to see people win the first medals for their country and watch them celebrate...Or even better, when someone is expected to get 7th at best in a sprint and pull off a bronze... they are more excited than any half-expected Gold medalist would ever be.Anyone else not really care about the counts as much as it seems?(Also, in b4 butthurt euro, I'm from Oregon)
the olympics is shit event made for all the boring sports that nobody cares about enough to warrant them having their own competition. problem is having 500 boring sports doesn't make it interesting still.
samebut i havent watched the olympics since like, '92
