Olympics

[Renee]

I taped them and perhaps I missed my favorite part and that is the podium and medal awards, I have only seen it one time when the three Americans won all three . Have I been missing them?

 

[Charcat]

That's the only time I've seen it, too, Renee. I'm thinking they're not bothering to show them.

I loved that! I always tear up

Me, too. I don't think the televising has been very good for this Olympics.

And I think the camera work is amazing...they get every angle...I don't know how they do it.
I love the human interest stories..like Emily Scott whose mother and sister are in jail..I am going to try snowboarding and train for the Olympics, or maybe I'll just sit at home and watch it, I would never have the courage to compete for fear of failing.

 

[Charcat]

It's all about overcoming obstacles for many of them. Some of them were lucky enough to be born wealthy, so no expense was spared for their training. I usually root for the underdog.

I'm not a big fan of today's Olympics. I began to lose interest when professionals were allowed to compete.

Still, I enjoy human endeavor and those that excel at various disciplines, so I tune in every now and then. Every now and then. I have seen nothing but commercials and analysis. Bob Costas' eye seems to be the biggest story. I don't watch commercials and analysis, so I turn off the Olympics. Is there any actual physical competition being shown?

They have not been showing many of the medal ceremonies, at least on the main channel.

I have DVR'd all of the Olympics and me and the family has watched them, fast forwarding through the commercials and most interviews.

Yes, if people will turn to NBCSN, on my Cox that is channel 34, they show everything including all of the competitors. Each segment, 2-3 hours will show which sport in advance.

The main channels only show a few of the competitors in each one, plus they skip around. Right now the short program for ice dancing is on and will be until 11:00 AM est.

If you have a DVR, you can actually go through the whole week and record whatever you are interested in in advance.

Me too...but some of the commercials are good..

Thanks for hitting on my NUMBER ONE beef Renee.

I don't get it.. the podium footage is absolutely THE best part!!
