I agree that it's difficult to fully care about the Olympics these days. It's still enjoyable, and some of the events are worth tuning in, yet it's mostly background noise during the dog days of Summer.
Personally the NHL, NFL, and recently Euro catch more of my attention.

Your first paragraph is kind of the point of the Olympics. It’s the reminder of the greatness humans can achieve when they come together. It’s more important in a world with simmering wars than one without.
