Listening to To Touch The Stars has helped me to understand the Olympics.

Some of the tracks caused me to feel an emotion which I think was pride. I don't recall ever feeling pride in my country, or my local sports team, and I used to justify this by saying other people's actions were nothing to do with me. If a British person happens to run really fast, it's no thanks to me, and I didn't even choose to be born in the same country as them, so why should I feel pride? But it's not like I had anything to do with space flight either, so I can't use that explanation any more.

I still don't care about the Olympics, but I think I have a better grip on why other people do.
