There are three kinds of people: those who love the Olympics, those who are indifferent about the Olympics, and those who are passionate about the essence of the Olympics. I belong to the third category. The Olympics encompass all of my favorite things: Foreign countries! Epic stories! Immersion in a two and a half-week event only to forget about it until it resurfaces four years later! And let’s not forget the fanciful condoms! However, no matter which category you fall into, the question of “What Olympic sport should I watch?” can be overwhelming due to the sheer number of sports available (40, to be exact). If you are still deciding on how to engage with Paris 2024’s festivities, perhaps seeking astrological guidance could be beneficial. The ancient Greeks established these games to honor the gods on Mount Olympus, who have Roman counterparts directly related to astrology through their ruling planets. So, if you’re uncertain about which sport to watch, consulting the stars may provide the answer.
Meet Maria Sofia Marmanides, an astrologer, tarot card reader, and intuitive. With her assistance, we have managed to demystify which Olympic sport should be on your watch list based on your zodiac sign. You can view all of these sports on NBC, the official U.S. broadcaster for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, as well as on Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, USA Network, CNBC, and E!.
