no. its a bullshit event bloated way out of proportion because the olympic committee really liked how much the nazis spent back in the 30s and encouraged it ever since.

I like it because it makes me care about sports I wouldn't ever care about. And it's basically 24/7 sports which is fun.

What the olympics considers sports is getting more and more ridiculous every year. It is a stupid event nowadays.

They actually tried to get rid of wrestling! The oldest sport in history! Maybe besides running. If that ever happens its not the olympics any ore.

Some say it is too subjective and more of an "art" than a sport. That said gymnastics is pretty subjective as well and has been part of the olympics for the past century and some change

Yes

They are really that big of a deal.

If you think they aren't, you're wrong.
