There were no human interest stories from other countries. [/quote]

I'm not a big fan of the human interest stories. That's why I liked the coverage. And I thought they did a good job limiting the studio time, and focusing on the events. Again, I certainly wasn't glued to the set, but I found myself watching events that I would never watch otherwise just because it was taking place in the Olympics.

It was kind of ironic that the US lost the softball gold in the last softball game. A big reason that the sport was voted out was because the US had been dominating it. In light of Japan's win, I will bet that the sport returns in 2016.
