Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis bitching about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.

Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.

All the olympics sucks it is not even worth the watch and the stations always lose money. But I will say this the fast walk event I will watch and get excited for because its a bunch of sixty year olds trying to out fast walk the other all while trying not to run. And you can see them really trying not just to take off and run. It funny and awesome. I love the announcers during it because they have no clue on how to narrate it.

It doesn't suck, it's actually pretty interesting. I watched a ton of sports which I would never watch else. For example the discipline Breaking today. How amazing was that?
