Hello mods! Can you setup the Paris Olympics board please? Thanks Volleytalkers MODERATOR NOTE: Apologies for the delays in making the new board (and approving registrations) -- they could not be helped. Please paste or message thread links to move to the new Paris board. Have fun creating new threads. Please remember the context: Beach (men and women), and Indoor (men and women) may be challenging at times. volleytalk.proboards.com/board/18/paris-olympics

Is it just me or does there not seem to be much excitement around the Olympics this year in general? It's already June and I can't recall a single advertisement about it, whether it be on tv or the socials.

I feel like the US Olympic Trials is when people really start to get interested. Those are happening in the next few weeks in the sports that really draw attention (track and field, swimming, gymnastics). I imagine the Olympics will still get good ratings. Edit: gymnastics was this past weekend.

Olympics in general. Ive seen the NBC commercial promoting but it’s tied more to the athletes having to “get there first” with the Olympic Trials coming up this month. I’ve not seen any individual sports though. You would think that we’d start seeing more about the different trials coming up. US Gymnastics was on TV this weekend. US Swimming trials is being held inside Lucas Oil Stadium (Indpls Colts) where they are building the swimming pool in the middle of the field and trucking in millions of gallons of water for a first of its kind event. Thats pretty cool but haven’t seen any promotion on it at all.

Nike doesn't even have their Olympic gear out. I agree the hype for the olympics seems low.

Maybe also the news is wrapped up with Trump's trial and the war that is happening.

I mean, I think you have to watch live television to see commercials for things like the olympics. Who does that anymore? Everytime I see the today show in a bagel shop or a dr office I feel like they have Simone Biles or an Olympian on, going back like a year, but that's not a huge sample.

NBC was running teasers back during football season about their coverage.
The best one was Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth dubbed in French.
