I had no idea that golf was out for that many years. + +I've always enjoyed watching the Olympics. Seeing the opening ceremonies with all the athletes proud to represent their countries. +And it's interesting to see how each host country displays their respective cultures and ways of life in the ceremonies for the world to see. +Since nowadays everyone and everything seems isolated and divided, it's nice to think of times of togetherness. + +![Every Olympic Sports: Chart](https://fivethirtyeight.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/mithani-OLYMPICS-TIMELINE-0723-desktop-CX.png?w=1400)
