One of the criticisms of the coverage of the Olympics (particularly the Summer games, but it happens in both) is that there is such unequal coverage of the different events. In summer, it really does seem like the ONLY thing they broadcast is the swimming races. Last time, there was some very brief coverage of the equestrian events that Leen is obviously interested in, and that was up from previous times when they've gotten no television coverage at all.

I've been watching the Olympics since the Ice Age (Or maybe since TV was invented. I can't remember which.) But the last couple of rounds they only seemed to show competition that involved Americans. Hello? Doesn't any other country have athletes? If I can't see a good cross section of the games, I'm not really interested.

The Winter games don't seem to have that problem, at least not to the same degree as the '02 and '98 Summer competition
