I have no interest in the Olympics. I find them boring. YMMV.

 Yep, all sport is definitely B-O-R-I-N-G!!
 One of the "normal" TV channels here in New Zealand has pretty much bumped all of their regular programmes to show the Olympics.

Currently using up TWO Free-to-Air T.V. channels here.

It's such an expensive waste of time and money that it probably won't last that much longer anyway. The Commonwealth Games had problems trying to find a country willing to waste the money hosting it - apparently Australia was stupid enough to put it's hand up in the end for 2026.

Yeap!! The then Premier of my State, Victoria, offered to stage them .... with the reasonable idea of locating different sports in different regional Cities .... so spreading the Development and Tourism Bucks around a bit.
Strangely, I haven't heard very much about it since .... and that Politian resigned from Parliament shortly after!!
And I haven't heard very much about the 2026 Commonwealth Games development since!!
