I watched some fencing last night
All they talked about was this girl Seda Jacobson and she didn't even get into the gold medal round
Brings up an interesting point about the TV coverage. There are athletes that they want to win. That they hype and hype and hype to no end
Then some little guy, or gal in this case, comes out of no where to shock the world and the networks are caught flat footed without even a story to show
The Olympics has gone from let's watch these folks do what they do , to let's hype up certain athletes, and should they have family issues, an illness etc all the better
