[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read every single page of this thread so forgive me if someone has said this already but:

I think the reason these games just feel like more fun and more compelling is that it's such a relief after the Tokyo games during Covid. For the athletes specifically it's just obvious this is a better and more joyous experience and I think that translates to the audience.

I've seen many interviews with repeat Olympians who have mentioned this too. Like one of the first things repeat winners have said is how wonderful it is to have their family at the games and to have a crowd cheering for them and I think they specifically mean in contrast to Tokyo when the athletes were very isolated and many events were basically silent or close to it. I just think they feel looser and happier and are enjoying their time in a way they couldn't before.[/quote]

We only see what the camera want us to see. NBC said they wanted to film the Olympics like a reality show and that is what we are seeing, lots of close ups of smiles, hugs, and families, hi fives, so it is formulated for us to feel a pseudo relationship with these people. [/quote]
