Im such a sap. I get weepy seeing the world( at least the rational nations) come together in the spirit of competition and sport. And for a very brief moment I can forget the worlds problems for a moment. But the duality also strikes me of: why cant we be like this all the time.
It makes me so sad but happy that we can do at least this one thing.
Peace please. We need that more than ever.

(1,935 posts)I look forward to the Olympics every time they happen.
Opening ceremony always makes me emotional.
Medal ceremonies too.
Looking forward to 2 1/2 weeks of contests and medals.

(33,624 posts)I always watch as much Olympics as I can. I love the spirit of competition and watching the medal ceremonies, and Im sad when its over. And I agree with the above, why cant we all get along like this all the time?
It just blows my mind thinking of how much planning went into this opening ceremony. Who doesnt love an evening in Paris? 🫠
