Watching the Olympics as a 2nd Gen

It's always fun to watch the Olympics because I always can cheer on two countries (the one where I grew up and then one where I'm from). But what if they compete against each other?
I find myself supporting the country where I'm from more (South Korea) when watching them compete. I feel a bit more patriotic when they win strangely enough although most of my life I grew up in the US. However, I will always definitely root behind my favorite American athletes as well! Especially when they're 2nd generation themselves like Chloe Kim!! It's a funny and interesting experience I feel like many 2nd generation citizens like me go through.
For all second generation people, which country do you support when watching the Olympics?
