I am an Olympics fan.
Love watching the competition, the good sportsmanship, the human interest stories, and of course the ceremonies.
Friday's opening ceremonies (which I watched live during the morning here on the east coast) were okay, but not particularly a stand out thanks to Covid and the political analysis from NBC (since Russia is poised to invade the Ukraine at any moment).
This is the second Olympics event under Covid, and the second set in Asia, and it just feels like things are "stuck", which is entirely due to the 2020 Summer Games being delayed by the pandemic.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to cheering for those Olympians delegations from the unexpected places... yes, I'm talking about Jamaican bobsledders and Eddie the Eagle types.
I need some new heroes.
