These are places I've lived for significant parts of my adult life, so I feel somewhat of a cultural connection to them (and often feel like I can "relate" to the back story/life of the athletes, or was present for the fan craze surrounding their rise to fame). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-root-for-more-than-one-country-in-the-olympics#post-2600130 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 12:13:11 +0000 BSB 2600130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The US and Vietnam. </p> <p>@OldpuebloJenn: Tell me more about the athletes under the refugees flag.

She also competed in the London games and my FIL went to watch her.</p> <p>Eta: my ILs are heavily involved in the local track and field club that is sending 5-6 athletes. My MIL went to the Beijing games as a special Olympics coach. We are visiting my ILs now and the Olympics coverage has been on since it started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-root-for-more-than-one-country-in-the-olympics#post-2600054 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 02:00:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2600054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I root for the US and South Korea.

Which ones and why? </p>
