It seems that no ones interested.I am watching swimming now and Micheal Phelps has crushed 100 meters world record.Maybe he can get 8 golds this time.He already has two with a close call with french team yesterdays 400

whats the media coverage like for you? i've been watching alot of events at night

[J-Carr]

We've been doing the DVR thing and recording them all and then playing them back a day later and skipping the commercials, political BS and some of the events we're not interested in.  Takes us about an hour to get through an entire nights coverage.  Plus we can re-wind and go back and look at the swimming more closely.  My son is a rec league competitive swimmer and he's picked up a number of things from the underwater cameras and the commentators.  Go team USA!

I have really been enjoying the bonus coverage on DirecTV.  In fact I was late for work this morning because I lost track of time watching the Greco-Roman wrestling.  I woke my son up at 6:00am to watch it with me (he wrestles) and he just gave me one of those teenage son looks and went back to bed.

I enjoy watching the Olympics, but man some of the commentators have an IQ smaller than their shoe size.  Last night during the diving the one commentator asked the other one, "why do the divers shower after each dive?"  Her reply, "because its fun!"

Speaking of Mr. Spitz, check out this article http://www.indianexpress.com/story/347563.html

someone sounds a little bitter...

WTF does he need to be there for, maybe we should get all living world and olympic record holders to every event incase someone breaks their records

[J-Carr]

Boy... I just lost all respect for Spitz after reading that article.  Ah well, just confirms my opinion of most atheletes.   And hey, did I hear you say some kid is going for a record number of gold medals?  Don't tell any one the secret Mr. Phelps.  That would be mission: impossible...

See the commentators could be cornier!

This tape will self destruct in 10 seconds.

[naitram]

i was curious if you get better coverage of the events then we do? for us its probally less then 1/2 events and more then 1/2 human interest stories

[altugo]

By the way when spitz shattered 7 world records and got 7 medals they didnt have skins they are using now.If that makes any difference.
