End of world somewhere in between, I assume...?
The Olympics I followed and watched most intensely, ever, was Los Angeles 1984. Every day and night, as much as I could - and I could a lot: I was mostly alone, and it were holidays... The only time I ever followed, lived and breathed such an event on TV like a junky, and followed the statistics on medals and tables as if my life depended on it. It was a good time, and those years it were different times somehow anyway. When I think about a positive Olympics, I immediately think L.A. '84. And no other.
Heck, even that damn soundtrack "Reach Out" still echoes in my ears...
Today, it all has over-lived itself for me. Zero interest now: none, rien, nada, nix. Plus the corruption, if not to say: organised crime, in IOC (and FIFA)... And the big business show just kills it even more for me.
