Winter Olympics Saturday
Feb. 14th, 2010 01:36 amI'm not much of a sports viewer, but there was really nothing else to watch while I ate supper, so I had it on.
If I'm stuck watching it I usually watch the Canadian coverage instead of the American. In the past we've spent time looking at competitors from other nations, while US coverage always seemed to forget that there were others. NBC seems to be smartening up on this, and CTV was reinforcing the stereotype that all Canadians like hockey (I am one, but hockey bores me) so I watched other events.
Short track skating helped me to appreciate the speed of Apolo Ohno. In qualifying he was far ahead of the other skaters.
