Not really...
If I'm looking forward to anything it is the start of the new EPL season.

Not really I trust the Japanese. Don’t tell my dead grandparents

Being a typical American I’m excited for our NFL season.

The best metaphor for the current status of living on this planet I've ever seen. Thank you so much.

As for the Olympics it looks less and less like an Olympics and more like an XGames every time.

I can't get into Summer Olympics.

No hockey, no curling, no ice dancing.......

It's a travesty.

More concerned for those attending. Hopefully this doesn't have bad international implications...

The opening ceremony usually garners big TV ratings, so of course it won't be cancelled. Athletes will be parading into an empty stadium, hopefully pretend waving to the pretend fans.

At this stage it should probably be canceled. Worried about the spport staff. That said I should also disclose I could care less about it as a sporting or entertainment event. I am so over the IOC and the USOC they can both go suck eggs as far as I'm concerned.

I should have used a different word. I mean anxious like waiting something very much but in a good way.

Did you mean "excited" rather than "anxious"?

Hey thanks!
"I'm anxious about picking my new car up later today."
How would you interpret that statement?
Oh never mind.....

I think so. In portuguese we use anxious instead of excited - a word with a bit more sexual connotation and with those cardboards it wouldn't fit well here lol

I am looking forward to watching some of it. There always is a great story or 2 about the athletes. These young people put in so much work to prepare. I’ll be watching the swimming and water polo.
