Do people still care about the Olympics? It seemed like a huge deal when I was a kid, and now seems to have dropped off the radar.

I've heard from watching a vlogger who is American who has lived in Japan for over 20 years now that is exactly why it is being held now, he too said October would have been a better option but the USA sports leagues were dead set against that happening.
i've not really watched much of them in the last few held, I saw absolutley nothing from the Brazil games, I saw the opening of the London games and a couple events. Because of the time zone difference I have not seen anything live from Tokyo but have watched lots of full length highlights on youtube, I am still trying to find time to watch the opening ceremony.
I have also noticed compared to when I was a kid, 70/80s that Team Canada does so much better now, we actually have quite a few medals already Wtching while growing up it was really a poor showing but the government decided to invest in amateur sports and the olympic athletes in the last 20 or so years and the results are proving to have worked.
I when I have the time like to watch whats on on TV olympic wise, but I don't really watch TV, we put it on at work and I sneak a look when I can. Not many others seem to be interested or care that its happening.
