you people need to get over it and just change the channel if your not interested!!!\n\nIf you don't like winter sports, watch a soap opera or jerry springer episode.  Don't complain because you do not understand what its all about...

First of all, I'm glad to see that somebody else besides me would prefer the olympics to be a sporting event, and not a biography on obscure athletes.  I can't stand to watch the olympics, because they never actually show any sports.\n\nBut... to answer your questions, it won't be all focused on ice skaters in mini skirts.  There will also be advertisements every 4.5 minutes.

I think tennis and golf are the most boring.  Maybe that's just because I've never heard of curling.  What's curling?

The Summer Olympics (Games of the Olympiad) have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, with the exception of the years during the World Wars.\n\nA special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first winter Olympics competitions were originally held as a non-Olympic sports festival, but were declared to be official Games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 the Winter Games and the Summer Games are held two years apart.\n\nThere are many legends surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. One of these associates the first Games with the ancient Greek concept of εκεχειρία (ekecheiria) or Olympic Truce. The date of the Games' inception based on the count of years in Olympiads is reconstructed as 776 BC, although scholars' opinions diverge between dates as early as 884 BC and as late as 704 BC.\n\nIn the 17th century, the Olympic Games sports festival was held in England, followed by the National Olympic Games, which were established in the 19th century and continue to this day. Later, similar events were organised in France and Greece, but these were all small-scale and certainly not international.\n\nThe interest in reviving the Olympics grew when the ruins of ancient Olympia were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-19th century. At the same time, Baron Pierre de Coubertin was searching for a reason for the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871). He thought the reason was that the French had not received proper physical education, and sought to improve this. In 1890 he attended the Wenlock Olympian Society. Coubertin also thought of a way to bring nations closer together, to have the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. In his eyes, the recovery of the Olympic Games would achieve both of these goals.\n\nIn a congress at the Sorbonne University, in Paris, held from June 16 to June 23, 1894 he presented his ideas to an international audience. On the last day of the congress, it was decided that the first modern Olympic Games would take place in 1896 in Athens, in the country of their birth. To organise the Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established, with the Greek Demetrius Vikelas as its first president.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Ancient_Olympics

While the World Cup doesn't interest me, I truly enjoy the Olympics.\n\nI don't care to watch every event, prefer individual sports. I do make a effort to see the opening and closing ceremonies.\n\nAs a young child, I learned about different sports, and some basic geography.\n\nI do agree, there may be some politics, some of the evils of the world are showing their ugly faces, but that is only a very small part of the overall.\n\nI still like to see it as a chance for the world's youth to compete and show their skills. For a couple of weeks every other year, the best of the best get to meet, no matter what country they call home.\n\nHowever I am afraid things are changing. Even the Olympics are being affected by the less than desirable human traits. Cheating appears to be happening more often, and that handful of people who would like to use it to make a political statement.\n\nThe commercialization drives me crazy. You see the Olympic logo attached to everything, however that is the lesser of the evils. Those companies do have to pay a lot of money to use it, and any money that is gathered honestly, beats the alternative.
