That's the beauty of the Games. Once every four years we become experts on everything from the 400m freestyle (don't miss Ariarne Titmus v Katie Ledecky 2.0), pole vaulting and .. wait for it .. breakdancing.
The greatest two weeks in sport will begin on July 26 with an opening ceremony along the banks of the Seine and you can get all the updates directly to your inbox with The Olympic Breakfast, a new newsletter from Australian Community Media.
The Paris Olympics will have something for everyone, and the Australian team is anticipating a gold rush for our athletes which will, hopefully, make the sleepless nights worth it.
But if you don't fancy the 2am wake up, we're going to do the overnight shift so you can be well rested and then catch up on everything you missed while you were sleeping.
The first newsletter will drop next week with an update on team selections and you'll get daily updates when the Games begin.
It doesn't matter if you're an Olympic rookie or a Games expert. Sign up to join us for a morning croissant as Olympic fever sweeps the globe.
