Hi OrliFanatic,
This is now the battle of the institutes of sport, not the "privateers".

I imagine it must be quite confusing for your schedule...the events themselves are happening pretty close to your time zone, but some of the big name competitions are being held at ungodly hours Beijing time, just so NBC (NoBodyCares) can run them live in US primetime...
I think it was last night I saw your Aussie girl win the gold for the breaststroke...the only competition there was who would come in a distant 2nd (we need an "oh wow!" smilie)

Where did you get to see that? I've seen a tiny bit of people ridding bicycles really fast, .... lots of gymnastics and volleyball in a sandbox and LOTS and LOTS of swimming. We know who bigfoot Phelps is. Now can we see some of the other 28 sports, from archery to wrestling, that make up the summer Olympics? Maybe like the pentathlon that it was all about to start. Just because we the US sucks at it doesn't mean we don't want to watch some of it.

They showed the basketball at one point I think......and I've been wanting archery to be televised for years. Unfortunately, for the networks it's all about ratings so we'll never get to see anything but the gymnastics, volleyball, and swimming. It sucks monkey nuts.

I enjoy the Track and Field events, having been a former track man in high school.
I also like the equestrian events.
