It’s painful. I enjoy watching the sprint events in track and field. I only watch after the live event has been recorded by me. I can then watch 3 hours of programming in a couple minutes.
I’ll watch a little of the summer and winter olympics, but only for a little while. And even then I’ll watch only the ones that aren’t decided by judges (i.e. I’ll watch events where the winner is the first across the finish line, or does the highest high jump, or fastest time in the downhill, etc.).
