Totallympics 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics "Happiness Meter" - after Day 2

[Quasit 865]

I thought it might be interesting to see how the mood swings during these games so after every second day I'm adding a poll here.

 

Choose a number between 0 and 10 and share your feelings towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

It should reflect on your mood. It doesn't matter if it's about the atmosphere, the organisation, results or all of it.

 

If requested, I can also make the poll anonymous next time.

The sport is high quality - nothing else is.

2 because of the terrible broadcasting if compared to my expectations. Otherwise 4.

[Jinzha 702]

I love it because it's the Olympics, but the broadcasting on NOS is definitely worse than I'm used to. You can see they're struggling without multistreams because of the Discovery Plus deal. I hate that I have to pay 6 euros to watch (all of) the Olympics. I hate it even more that I'm not even getting good coverage for that money. Mostly without commentators or with terrible commentary. And I've literally had advertisement in the middle of a football game.

 

And then there's the coronavirus, which ruins the atmosphere, the broadcasting and even the sports themselves when contenders get infected.

 

I still enjoy it, but it's all a bit of struggle this time...

I voted for no 7, apparently as majority of users.

Lets see how things will develope in the next days.

Eurosport < BBC, there's no fans, the time zone is not ideal and GB as expected are underperforming compared to recent games. But I'm still enjoying it a lot because it's the Summer Olympics

I think the atmosphere created by the not crowds is much better than expected. It is a lot less depressing than I expected.

 

Also, I am really just grateful these Olympics are happening at all.

Hard to really compare with other Olympics, because I never remember exactly how I felt 5 years ago, but I do know I am definitely enjoying the Olympics so far (like any Olympics, really)  

 

Building up quite a decent lack of sleep already, compared to my usual hours I think I've already missed out on a total of nearly 10 hours so far, but that doesn't take away the fun (yet)
