Not only do the athletes provide an example for our US politicians, but also for leaders around the world. My heart is so happy when I see athletes from countries that otherwise are considered adversaries, embracing after a competition. I am also heartened to hear the spectators cheer on Ukrainian athletes in nearly every sport I've watched.
However, as far as local advantages, I am unable to get WHO TV by antennae, so I've had to stream all the sports coverage. For some reason I get a lot of commercials from Kentucky companies. I can't wait for the evening coverage though. I've been getting up at 4 am every morning to watch the swimming. Now that swimming is over, I'm having trouble getting back to a normal schedule!
We have watched far more Olympics at our house than in the past 20 years or so. Agree on the excellent sportsmanship; someone trains for years, gets beaten by a tenth of a second and most of them have smiled and shook hands with the winner. Refreshing!
And I agree about Snoop's "value"...I've asked my grandkids if he is truly that popular and get a mixed reaction but the NBC folks publicly seem ga-ga about him. Go figure; I don't see that he adds anything.

Too bad our local NBC affiliate is owned by Sinclair. Watcher, beware
