Potioncat:
It seems every time I turn to the Olympics, it's swimming. It's as if 
there aren't any other sports! (Just coincidence, I know.)

I did a lot of grumbling about the women's beach volleyball cough!
uniforms!cough. Yeah, I know. They look like girls on the beach. It 
does distract from any thoughts of their being atheletes. My son called 
to me that men's beach volleyball was on. "Great! I can see well built 
men in tight speedoes!" I called back, and hurried in  to see men in 
loose fitting shirts and standard shorts. 

Life just ain't fair!

We've watched gymnastics because my son does Special Olympics 
gymnastics. One of the Americans fell off the balance beam,and also 
made a mistake in the floor exercise. We were both angry at the network 
for showing every possible view of the falls, in every possible special 
effect over and over. Then in zooming in to her face for as long as 
possible every time they could as she watched her team mates.
