then that will be the only thing I watch
Loved that this is the first comment.
I am not a fan of US coverage of the Olympics. It's literally just swimming and gymnastics.
I am hoping the streaming services and youtube will make the Olympics watchable within the US.
The only sport I'm looking forward to seeing is freestyle wrestling. I was to see Dake bodylock some dude for the gold. I want to see Taylor get a gold. I want to see Stevenson blow past his opponents with his bizarre speed for his size. I want to see Grey finally get her Olympic gold after so many world championships.
But, I've accepted the fact that I'll have to watch all of those in gif form in the grappling section of the sherdog forums.
LOL, they already do.Can't wait to see Track imitate Swimming. There are 22 different ways to swim and get a medal. Time to add different ways of running. Backstroke, hop on one foot, bowl legged dash, etc. If there are 22 different ways to swim there's gotta be at least 30 ways to run.

No chance they'll do this.
The US is the largest sports market by far.
~35% of Team USA gold medals at the summer Olympics come from swimming.
Americans only watch sports America is good at:
If you stripped down swimming, the UK/China/Russia would win the summer Olympics basically every time and Americans would turn off, which would be massively costly to the IOC.
- Compare ratings for USWNT vs USMNT.
- Witness declining men's tennis ratings over the past 17+ years.
- Think declining NBA ratings when foreigners dominate the league, like 2002-07, when foreigners won 5 out of 6 MVPs, or more recently, as Europeans will probably win their 3rd MVP in a row in 2021.
Cannot wait to watch Speed Walking.
More hype. This guy's channel is good for it.
I did not. I don't follow the Diamond League closely if that's where he did it. If you say he will, I believe you.Did you see Fred Kerley 9.91 run? He will do damage I think in the Olympics.
