answer:I think for the athletes that attend the experience is positive no matter what their personal outcome is. The shared experience with people from around the world, the chance to compete with the best in their sport. The Opening and Closing ceremonies marking the games as something special, a time set apart. For spectators, I think we like to root our teams on, but we also like the heatwarming stories from around the world. We like to root, period. Win-win even if you don’t win, I think.
