getting way too into the Olympics

Yes yes yes there are many problems with all of it - the doping, the building stadiums via human rights abuses, etc., etc. BUT there is nothing better than watching people do the thing they are best at, especially if the thing they are best at is incredibly niche. Highly recommend ditching the NBC broadcast and watching events start to finish. Discus? Aerials? Diving? Doesn't matter. Pick an arbitrary athlete/team to root for and just let the natural drama do its thing. Really do it up! For the Tokyo Olympics I only cooked Japanese food for dinner for the entire two weeks, just because. It only comes around every few years so you can build up all of your fan energy.
