I have a similar complaint. Whenever I tune in, it is not interesting. There was a boxing match between a guy from Ecuador and a guy from a country whose abbreviation was UZR.

I had a few beers with a friend last night, and we just couldn't get interested in sychronized diving.

Now news reports are stating that the star Chinese female gymnast, whose performance won China the gold, was actually underage. Chinese govt. reports 9 months ago state that she's 13, but she got a passport saying she's 16.

The IOC in their wisdom has said that if the passport says she's 16, she is 16...regardless of the year of the birth.

Anyhow, I'm very happy for Michael Phelps. I was amazed by Mark Spitz when I was 8 in '72, and Phelps is generating the same excitement.
