One of the best parts about the Olympics is learning about new people. Every four years we get a batch of Olympians with unique stories and interesting personalities who participate in sports that we are completely oblivious to for most of, if not all of the 47 months in between the games.
In addition to the athletes we also have all the people behind the scenes who make the games work. When you watch on TV you probably don't notice the dozens of people doing synchronized leaf blowing on the ski jump. That is the good stuff right there.
