I don't follow it that close...

I have enjoyed some of it, mainly women's volleyball.

But is it me or why does swimming have to be 80% of the coverage?? 

The man made kayak course was kind of interesting..
I feel like the summer games are 75% swimming, 60% track & field, 50% gymnastics, and 40% Bob Costas.  Unless you stream online, or catch the 2 am broadcast, you don't get to see any of the crazy shit like handball, trampolining, table tennis, badminton, etc.  I don't watch the Olympics to see people swimming laps or running around a track.  I watch them to see sports that you hardly ever see the rest of the year (like curling in the Winter Olympics).

They said this morning that if Michael Phelps was a country, he would be 39th all time in gold medal count.

Watched the re run of the gymnastics last night- two observations:

1-The US team is insanely good.

2-Their is no way the Chinese team is anywhere close to 16 (but I really don't know how being younger with less muscles works in your favor?)

2 - Better balance (lower C of G), and better biomechanics for flips/rotation.
