yesterday my flatmate asked what my “olympics schedule” was in terms of what i was planning to watch and when and i was like i can’t explain to you how much of a foreign concept that is to me. you don’t have an “olympics schedule” in my household you watch whatever happens to be on tv whenever you have a minute of free time and get insanely invested in whatever sport you end up watching. maybe down the line you get so caught up in an event that you start going “i’m sorry i need to have the tv at 8:45pm next tuesday because i need to see the men’s sport climbing finals or i’ll kill myself” but it’s something that has to happen organically you know. that’s half the fun
related to this i saw people getting really mad in the bbc’s instagram comments because their feed wasn’t showing enough events where british athletes were competing and i was like oh you guys are actually watching just for team gb? that’s the boring way of doing it. if you end up catching an event where nobody from your country is competing you just pick a completely random athlete based off nothing but vibes and become so invested in their success that within ten minutes you are actively nauseous from stress
