I’m not watching. I’m anti-Olympics; I think they’re insanely expensive, highly jingoistic, falsely promote sports as a higher calling and shouldn’t be subsidized. I think elite sports should exist only to the extent they pay for themselves as entertainment. And I don’t watch tv anyway.
All of that said, I’d like to see Nathan Chen win the gold medal. Remember what Emerson said about consistency! Chen seems charming to me and he’s going back to college next August. But other than Chen, I know nothing about what’s going on at all.
