Olympics in France

So the Winter Olympics in Turin are all done. The Olympics are a fascinating thing. We were lucky enough to get a cable channel on NOOS that was showing Olympics 24/7 for the whole thing. They showed lots of everything, and very little commentary. I guess I didn't realize how 'dolled up' our US olympics coverage was with lots of time spent showing newscasters and interviews. And ours of course had running commentary in French, which works pretty well for sports stuff. We also saw it from a non-US point of view, meaning that the coverage didn't seek out every American performance to show, it also didn't seem to focus on catching every French performance. And pretty much zero medal ceremonies were shown.
