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.

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...

My thoughts, too. Winter Olympics is where it’s at.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love the summer olympics. Bummed about the lack of audience for the events, however. I wonder if they will be piping in crowd noise or doing some extra mics to coaches or something to cover the silence.

I like watching track n field, gymnastics, wrestling, judo and weightlifting in particular.

No interest at all. Too many athletes and sports have become “politicized”.
