Olympics bonding

After the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing, China, despite all the ongoing unpleasant incidents for the Games.

While the sporting ambition of bonding nations, sportsmen and etc is a tad too high and lofty. The bonding is actually at the family level.

As there are coverage in various channels, we could be watching it in different rooms for different sports etc. Certain sports will bond the family together like sports that have your own nation participating in it, common popular sports like Swimming, Gymnastics etc.

Though sometimes there are preferences for certain niche sports like basketball, cycling, diving, certain athletic events but most times, there is a general consensus to watch that sport, change over when certain parts are boring, or simply cheering for that particular country or sportsman.

It does not have to achieve a lofty ambition, it can starts from the family.
