That they are ending. It’s been pretty much the only thing worth watching for the last 2 weeks.

The Olympics should be on all the time! To remind us of the amazing skills and talents represented by our kids and their coaches, trainers, families and support staff. Go team USA!

Nicely said. And we have here in the Villages connections to various Olympians.

If you are a fan of the Olympics, you are a “sports” fan, because most all of them are represented in some form for two weeks, of the best in the world!

Loved the regular and the new sports as well! Lots of great stories and first time countries medaling!

It was a good olympics too. Great to see the crowds back and people happy again

We liked it but there were so many different sports it seemed over saturating at some points, IMO. The break dancing was pretty cool and something different than the normal basketball, etc.

Don’t be sad, the Paralympics are coming up. We have a friend competing, can’t wait!

I assume you mean watching them again on television. I had a very good friend that went to Atlanta in 1996 with his family. For the most part , they were disappointed as they found the crowds overwhelming and getting tickets to the various events they wanted to attend difficult and in some cases almost impossible to get without paying absorbent prices through third parties.
That said, we went to the 2016 World Series at Wrigley to watch our Cubs play. What an experience and what an overall atmosphere. Setting in your own home and watching on your 60” television is still the best seat in the house even with excellent seats at the venue.

Yes on tv.
Nobody goes to the Olympics these days, far too crowded!
