The name says everything you need to know about them, they are games. Anybody that tries to tell you the athletes aren't there to play because they are the most skilled athletes in the world at their event doesn't know what they are talking about. No matter how competitive a game can get, no matter what is on the line, and no matter what record is broken, it is always going to be just a game, and nothing more. Good Will Hunting explained it, some people can just play at an instrument, Will could just play at equations, and athletes can just play at their sport. Of course it will require time, effort, training, and practice to play well, the same kind of dedication peole put toward their jobs, but it really is still just playing at the end of the day. Most people in the world don't clock in for a work day at a gym because it's not a work place, it's somewhere people go to practice or train at their talent, not their work.
Talent and work are not the same thing, which is why most people go to work, then they play on their time off if they do at all (sports, other things if they have a talent at anything). The Olympic Games are not leisure in the sense that most people have of leisure, they are not the same thing as vacation, they require more time, energy, effort, and dedication than vacation or leisure, but they are still games, and as long as they are games, the athletes in them are playing. Any time somebody starts calling anything called games or sports something else, or says that athletes or players are not playing, they are doing something else, is missing the point and calling things something other than what they are.

Get the Olympic games mug.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 Ronnie Gaming mug.The Maze Game, also known as The Scary Maze Game, is a game where the player must use their mouse to navigate a red block to the end of the level without touching the walls.
There are three levels; the first two are easy, and the third one is nearly impossible...but are you sure you want to see what happens when you finally beat it?

The Maze Game has spawned a meme where a guy breaks his computer after being absolutely terrified of what happens when you beat the third level. That's how scary it is.

Get the The Maze Game mug.The NBA All Star game did come to the city a few years ago without the legislation they were trying to push getting passed, so what they're saying about the city losing it was bullshit.
