New Theory

I have a new theory about women's beach volleyball. NBC is just being lame. There are so many sports that they could show...sure they may not appeal to all viewers...but the key is variety. Do we really need to see the gymnastics "gala"? I like gymnastics just as much as the next person, but I would rather see more decathlon coverage or some primetime equestrian, canoeing, or table tennis. Spice it up NBC! The Olympic coverage is spread out over about six channels, but your average viewer is not watching it at work, so it would be great if they could have more variety in primetime.

One other note...Did you see the race where the favorite in the women's 100 meter hurdles from Canada wiped out on the first hurdle and took out a Russian woman in the lane next to her? According to the Olympic rules, the Russian is allowed to protest and request a new race (because it wasn't her fault she didn't get to run the race.) She protested but her request was denied. I'm kind of happy about that. It totally sucks for her that that happened, but stuff happens right? Do you think they should have rerun? Would the rerun include the Canadian (heavily favored to win) that wiped out?
