So, I think we did a pretty damn good job at hosting them this year, and massive well done to Danny Boyle for the ceremony.
But when it comes to viewing the olympics with other people, it can be quite daunting when they spew out all their sporting knowledge whilst it's on, and all you can say is, "Ooh he was good wasn't he." or "Oh look she won that she did.", maybe even "The colours...".
In order to become slightly like this crowd, I sometimes cheered for another team like Japan, or Austria just so it looked like I'd watched past olympics and was very enthusiastic about different teams and such.
Another way to look like you know a lot about the olypics is to refer to olympians by their last names, so when watching the cycling, you'd go "Come on Wiggins!" or "You can do it Gong!" Then people will think you are familiar with athletes and therefore think you know lots.
But for goodness sake, if you are ever to do any of these things, do them in moderation, or people may assume you are the olympic oracle and begin asking you some difficult questions about the olympics.
It's been a mental battle these olympics. Gosh, olympics. Yeah.
