**I never ever watch the Olympics.**
Same here. It’s anti-climatic. There are so many championship competitions during a given year that the best at their specialty are already known. And some nations simply don’t have the means to support contestants in every sport.
And some sports are what my wife calls soft porn: simply about attracting a male audience.
The Olympics are ruined by trying to attract the female audience.
90% of coverage is backstory and emotional BS.
The only reason to watch women’s events is if they are hot, so your wife is correct about that.
