Congrats to all you Americans in producing a magnificient winter Olympic. It had its ups and downs but overall, it was great. For your nation to pull this one off certainly proves that you are on a good road to recovery.
My hat's off to you [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bwa, the coverage was of a dubious nature. I think that if the Olympics were held in a different country, we wouldn't have to deal with the entire Figure Skating media explosion. Truckloads of the people have seen enough Figure Skating for the rest of their lives now due to overexposure, a terrible thing for the "sport" itself. I have a feeling interest in Figure Skating will reach a new low during next Olympics.

Glad to hear (mostly) everyone enjoyed the Olympics. I thought they did a good job organizing it and giving coverage to the lesser-known sports here in the US. Looking forward to the Olympics returning to their home in Greece in two years!
***Sidenote*** Regretfully though, I still do not get curling. I don't think that got any coverage here in the US...well, ignorance is bliss for now [img]smile.gif[/img]
