Why do people get so excited about the olympics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
1. advertising = money

2. it only happens every 4 years, and it's a different venue each time

3. people are proud of their country

4. people just like watching sport, and what are some of the best athletes in the world, or their own country

I guess for me, I love all the countries coming together to compete. We support our own country while becoming one with the others (I think it hits home how they played Come Together by the Beatles during the London 2012 opening ceremonies. Plus, there is some sort of sport that everyone can enjoy, from shooting to volleyball to diving to soccer. I get so excited for the Olympics. Perhaps I'm just caught up in the excitement of it all. But I honestly can't get enough of it.

Because of the signs, ads, conversations, pictures and more.

Olympics, winter Olympics, European Championships and World Cups every two years.

They all make us highly excited. Without them our lives are worthless.

Because people see it as their countries time to show the rest of the world that they are composed of more physically fit people than the others, that their better. Much like watching the NBA, MLB, NFL except replace the cities they represent with whole countries w/millions of people. I find it exciting, go USA!!

It's a great event happens only every 4 years all the nations compete its just intense and people around the world like competitions like that it's like that world cup kind of.

Its every 4 years and its fun to watch plus there are many sports to watch maybe u should watch it lol :)

Well, you can only be "into" it if your into sports, and if you are, no matter what age, it;s ******* awesome!!! or there's the patriotic factor too, if your proud to be from ____________. Then there you go. Let's not get complicated. :) nations united against each other for sport and glory. there i said it.

once every 4 years each for the summer and winter

I'm excited because of that hurdle girl. That B just begs to be spanked.

its just their type of thing, personally i think watching people swim and lift weights is boring

i see a lot of signs, ads, conversations, pictures and more about the 2012 London Olympics. why do people make such a big deal out of it? right now i feel like i cant escape all of this madness!

It's perfection

then go to hell. they dont celebrate olympics there
