Why do people pretend that the Olympics aren't boring?

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

It's literally people doing the same actions over and over and over again.
Even if I initially find an event interesting, I'll very quick get bored with it.
The only thing I find funny is the weight lifting competition and that's only because I'm waiting for a contestant to have a hernia burst on live TV.

What gives? Why do people act like they're so important?
