Yes
Yes
Thank you for informing me the Olympics start this weekend
While I enjoy watching the actual Olympics, I’m not super interested in the opening ceremonies. I’ll watch if my family wants to.
No, but I never watch the Olympics.
It’s in the middle of the work day so probably not. Might see if I can stream it but it’ll be background noise rather than actively watching
I just learned the opening ceremonies for the Olympics are this Friday. I won’t be watching, but I’ll definitely be tuning in for some of the events over the next few weeks.
No. I’m interested in the sports but couldn’t care less about the ceremonies.
Nope.
Yes, absolutely, along with as much coverage as I can over the next few weeks. Huge Olympics fans in this house.
Yes!
The Olympics are this year?
I was not aware there was Olympics this year, and no.
The Olympics start on Friday?
Yes, I love the Olympics!
Dont really care
I didn’t even know that the Olympics were starting Friday. No.
Unlikely
No
Of course, I’ve got a lot of money riding on who wins the Parade of Nations.
Yeah dude I love the Olympics
It’s funny, growing up, the Olympics were a big deal and my family would watch every night from the opening to the closing ceremonies, and we’d follow the medal counts and all that. I didn’t even know the Olympics were this year until last week. I may catch some events but I won’t be watching the opening ceremony.
Absolutely
Yes! Very excited. I love the Olympics.
Yes. I’ve been a fan of the Olympics since 1976.
I didn’t even know the Olympics were happening till now… so no
No but I’ll be watching Hockey when it starts. McJesus and Crosby on the same team will be fun to see.
I had no clue that the Olympics were this year. On another note, I’m very excited to see family for the Superbowl this weekend.
I love it when the Olympics are in Europe, it makes for perfect live viewing times.
100%. We did a drinking game for the Paris opening ceremonies (“drink every time they do something incredibly French”) and I got perhaps the drunkest I’ve ever been. This time I’m not drinking, but I still like to watch.
The ceremonies usually make me want to gouge my eyes out. What fresh horrors should I anticipate? Though thank you for reminding me it was happening, I already forgot the Grammys.
I always love the opening and closing ceremonies. The excitement and enthusiasm of the athletes. But unless I sign up for yet another streaming service I don’t think I’m able to watch it.
Totally forgot about the Olympics, tbh

Until seeing this post I was unaware the Olympics opening ceremonies were this Friday.
The Olympics are this weekend???
Genuinely didn’t know they were happening already.
In the US, the sponsor/marketing avenues are really really tight. So if you’re not on cable, don’t subscribe to specific feeds, you genuinely won’t have had heard anything about them.
Even knowing they’re happening, I won’t watch. If there’s any stand out events, I’ll catch highlight videos later. I have 0 interest in the massive marketing/pr machine that is the Olympics media coverage.
