Questions

The world sure feels smaller than when I was 6 years old in the millennium year aka year 2000 when the Australian Olympics Games was held that year, it sure was a smaller world then and I'm amazed I remember a fair amount from that far back age bracket of my memory banks - there were PC computers yet no small electric notebooks or electronic whiteboards - only chalk, blackboards, texters and smaller whiteboard.
Anyways. And sure Backstreet Boys and NSYNC and space themed bubble gum music was all the rage/trend. Anyways.
In 2024 this is my 8th Olympics in my lifetime so far at 30 years old and 7th that I've actually watched aka television. Anyways.
Thoughts folks or friends? Hasn't the world sure gotten smaller and some would say uncomfortably smaller. The tech changes are and is still cool though.

Their skimpy outfits were literally the only reason people watched😂

Though the Olympics are technically awarded to one city, certain events, especially football matches are usually held in various cities within the same host country. But the Paris 2024 has taken it even further by becoming the first Olympics to be held on two continents and two hemispheres. Not only that, it will also be the first summer Olympics to partially take place during the winter. The reason. SURFING! Surfing only debuted in the last Olympics in Tokyo. And since mainland France isn't known for surfing, the French have decided to hold the surfing events in Tahiti, which is an island of French Polynesia, which is an overseas collectivity of France. There's a wave there called the Teahupo'o, which has just the right conditions for Olympic surfing. Tahiti is located in the southern hemisphere where the seasons are reversed, so it will technically be winter down there (even though they call it the "Dry Season")
