Wars are left at home and the only tension is in the thrill of competition. To that end, here are the top 10 globally important Olympians and events to watch — where the outcomes may just change the course of humanity. For a brief shining moment on the medal stand, at least.

    You know, a couple we know, who doesn't have cable, just invited themselves over to our house to watch the opening ceremonies tonight. I wasn't even planning on watching it - but I couldn't say no. Sad
