Totally.
It's also unfair to compare against having the games on home soil. That alone amps things up.
I just feel the state of the world has muted a lot of these types of previously joyous and celebratory events, the Olympics being no exception.
I also feel for the athletes. Training and working so hard to get to the pinnacle of your sport and no fans or no family able to be there with you.
Are the athletes even interacting in the Village?
I assume most are being super careful as they dont want to get sick and have to withdraw from their event. Qualifying, making the trip to Beijing, and then getting a DNS status cause you shared a few beers with the Dutch speedskaters would suck.
