3 tv's makes watching the Olympic coverage much easier.
I'm not sure why, but I have not caught the Olympic Fever this year. I usually like the summer games. I like track and field. (Women's beach volleyball ain't bad either.) I think it's because all the track and field athletes I liked from 2000 are not competing or are being BALCOed. Maybe it's because I hate this year's basketball team. Or it could be that the USA does not have an entry in team handball.
Olympic handball is not handball as we know it in the United States. Just like football in the US is different from football in the rest of the world. In fact, internation handball is very much like international football, better known around here as soccer, but they use their hands instead of their feet. It is not the game we play here where we slam the ball against the wall.
I would be more inclined to watch some of the summer games if DODGEBALL became an official event.
