Congrats and Thank You Kim Rhode

You know, back in the 60's and 70's we got five channels, you could turn on the network covering the Olympics, and you could see a lot of coverage and every result.  Today we have 300 channels with seven of them covering the Olympics, and we still need to go online to get info and that changes constantly.

Who said technology would make things better?

I beg to differ TAB, during the winter games the Alpine event, where cross-country skiing "and" rifle shooting at targets during various stages is very popular Internationally.

These summer events have 17 nations competing.....in the trap event.

We (The U.S.) just happen to be really exceptional.

But the MSM, buries it on the back up channel, MSNBC, at the 2:00 a.m. coverage to say they "covered" it....

Have you seen the ping pong finals? That is no joke for an event....

Have you found yourself watching handball yet?  It was on when I tuned in the other day, and I had no idea what it was even after they told me it was handball.  I've never heard of it before!

We played a game as kids with a racquetball thrown against a three sided wall called "butt's up" that was similar....

That is the handball I was expecting.  This game they are playing is a mix between basketball and soccer

Which station 

My local NBC is the only one covering, and it is swimming

The main NBC channel.  It looked like it was going to be a couple minutes worth of interview (not the actual event), but it was already off about the time I finished posting.  Sorry, for getting your hopes up.  TAB and mountain timers can still watch it when they catch up.

That is the handball I was expecting.  This game they are playing is a mix between basketball and soccer 

It's one of only a few events the USA has never won a medal in.  Ping pong and another one (badminton?) or 2 in the summer.
