♦️ The 2008 Olympics
China was the host country for the 2008 Olympics. The effort made to prepare Beijing for the Olympics was massive. The cost was close to $50 billion. One big issue was air quality. Some factories had to stop operating. Automobile traffic came under strict controls. The efforts seem to have succeeded. The training for Olympic competition is rigorous. It is a years-long commitment made by the competitors and their families alike. For example, a teenage swimmer has to be driven to daily practice at 5 in the morning. Families adapt their schedules and budgets to support young athletes. Everyone feels a thrill when a fellow countryman wins an Olympic medal. In the Olympics big countries and rich countries have an automatic advantage. In a sense, competitors from smaller and poorer countries are the true heroes. One thing I don’t like is the television coverage in the United States. Commercials and commentary take up at least half the time. I usually end up recording the broadcast so I can skip over the parts I don’t like. To be honest, I can only watch so many dives before I nod off. As you can probably tell, I am not a fanatic about sports. Is it possible that love of sports is a genetic variable?
