Gerben42 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 The woman who won moved to Germany to get better treatment for her son who has Leukemia and so she is running for that country. I believe it was important financially for her to win so she got out in front and managed to stay there, then she actually took about 3 or 4 victory laps. That story was in gymnastics, and she won silver. I also thought it was a great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkdood Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I dislike the tape delay the most as well also... the ability to identify and find LIVE events is too much a chore. Without a reliable "menu" or schedule, as might apply to an NFL or MLB game, you have to sit through loads of prelims and schmaltz, and sometimes guess what's on or what channel to watch. Ex: I must have watched Japan vs USA softball 4 times on different channels, because they played twice with similar scores, and I wasn't sure what game I was watching! (Then again, i am duhhhh-mb more than most.) ALSO: At least 3-4 times I went to NYTimes Sports to see current MLB scores, and big result headlines were too blatant to squint at, so I learned Olympic scores and results I wanted to avoid seeing. I understand the next Olympics from London, because of the worse time difference, will be especially hard for USA watchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am just shocked so many forum members are watching live....not sportscenter highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
