I'm not a fan of the regular olympics either. I think it's overhyped and overorganized. I like some niche sports, some of which are at the olympics, but I prefer smaller competitions. There is more comradery and fair play, and it seems like everyone is happy at smaller events. At the olympics you can see a lot of frustrated athletes, I don't like that.
I watch sports for the beauty of it, and the individual achievements, not because I root for anyone.
I don't even revel when my countrymen win. I find it disgusting when the whole country acts like it is "our" victory, yeah, how did you personally contribute to it? It's not your victory then, you can't claim ownership of it just because the athlete happened to be born in the same country.
