The Olympic games, of all things, are not something to panic over. They're just games, win or lose. Holding nothing sacred but winning is not the point, and you wouldn't panic unless you're someone that holds nothing sacred, because then you'd feel like you had to win.
The uber competitive girl always put the same unrealistic pressure on everybody else that she tried to make it look like people were putting on her, when in reality she had always just been uber competitive about everything, and wanted to turn other people into her. Not everybody thought the Olympic games was a make or break event the way she did.

Get the Olympic games mug.The Olympics are just games, so at the end of the day, if you're an athlete, hopefully you do what you want to do no matter what, from winning a medal to having a good time and not winning anything at all. It's not about what other people want you to do, since they are not there. What makes people happy and doing what they love isn't being lost, being lost is not having found something you love to be doing.
The Olympics are games, and people sometimes turn them into something beyond human. Life is not a comic book.

Get the Olympics mug.It's one thing for people that don't know the athletes to not go to the Olympics, but it really is a little bit fucked up to not allow the families of athletes in the buildings, which seems a lot like not letting the family of someone with the coronavirus in the hospital to visit. That doesn't seem like the way to treat people, and why should anybody that does treat people that way be trusted?
People want to be there for their family members to cheer them on even during hard times, and times that aren't fairweather days. The Olympics is no different than any other sports event in that sense, even if the scale is thought to be grander.

Get the Olympics mug.Some of these younger folks seem quicker to change the guard than people from earlier in their generation or generations before. Michael Phelps had longetivity to his Olympic runs. Being unselfish isn't a bad thing, a lot of these folks will be together as a team for years to come, but just like vets can learn from the rookies, where would the Olympics be without the vets?
Vets do more than just usher in the new during the Olympics, so hopefully appreciation for them isn't lost for something newer that seems more momentarily exciting.

People treat the Olympics like it's not a joke, or it's one of those things that is like rape that you can't joke about, when really the whole thing is one big Olympic Big Top, meant for entertainment purposes. That's why they're called the Olympic games.

If you think the Olympic big top is a joke, the illusion that the Olympic games are serious and meant to be taken seriously might be lost. Then they might have to rescript the whole thing, that's no fun.
