Whats the big deal with the olympics?

Question

i find them extremely dull and overrated

Answer 1

If you don't like them, don't watch them.  Does your TV only get one channel?

Answer 2

Well then don't watch them!

I don't complain about stuff i don't like, i don't watch them.

The Olympics is for 2 weeks every 4 years and is the single greatest sporting event in the world.

The best athletes in the world all come together for one competition, so anyone that likes sport would find this brilliant.

I would guess your American and as you win almost everything i guess it's not very exciting.

If America didn't have Michael Phelps the Britian would have more gold medals than America, that is embarrassing for American sport.

Answer 3

No big deal, it is just a show for you to watch and hope to have international  taste & flavour,  Don't overrated it, you are right, just enjoy it or switch it off.......no big deal.  

Answer 4

depends on the events you watch..try watching beach volleyball....quite entertaining... or watch an event which you enjoy, it helps...like shooting, or shooting...i like guns XD

Answer 5

To each his own...everyone has opinions my friend.

Answer 6

May be but the USA kicked BUTT

Answer 7

so true, its very overrated.

i don't get what the big deal is.

but i guess you have to be in the shoes of the people competing to understand.

Answer 8

Me too, Cheap television in my view, Wish i would be over and that they will come home get a REAL job in a real world like the rest of us. Am fed up paying for people to ponce around track in bikinis.

Answer 9

it's once in 4 years where all the greatest athletes come and  do battle with each other. I find them exciting, but I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Answer 10

I like the olympics.  I don't think it's overrated at all.

And Josh T, perhaps it's embarrassing for Britain that one person can push a whole country back in the medal count.

Answer 11

Probably the fact that it happens once every FOUR years.
