The Olympics are boring now. I can't really put my finger on it though. I guess globalization makes it less exciting? People from different countries compete all the time outside of olympic events. I wouldn't mind if it disappeared.

For me the TV coverage is way over the top. They started to cater to the female viewership a long time ago.
They of course started to show more rhythmic dancing sort of stuff, but it was the constant up close and personal stories about every athlete that gets to me. Every store is a sob story, "his sister lost two fingers from freezer burn because she ate too much gelato" or "her mom got clotheslined by a clothesline and lost her hearing".
They also constantly tease you about an event that is coming up. "Stay tuned we will be right back with more commercials and sob stories" before you get to see something worth anything.
