What has been the most over-broadcast sport this Olympics?

Question

You know... the sport noone cares about, nobody from your country has a medal hope in, but they won't stop showing it?

Include what country you are watching the Olympics from, I am interested in whether New Zealand's apparent fascination with sports we are completely rubbish at is independant of our country... seriously... beach volleyball needs to go.

Answer 1

Jamaican in the US. Over-broadcast swimming, boxing and marathon races here. Instead of showing more hand-ball or water polo or track NBC chooses repeat the Swimming and Gymnastics from the day before throughout the night when events are going on live in China

Answer 2

boxing, they keep showing it on Universal HD evrytime i change it there its on.

im watching from the U.S

and they need to show more Track and Field, i cant get enough of it. the 100 m dash is the best olympic event and Usain Bolt shut the whole olympict down after his perfomance, i dont think anybody can top that

Answer 3

I'm totally with Garry, im soooooo sick of boxing, they show the olympics on nbc and universal hd and the latter shows the olympics all day and seriously since the day that the olympics began that channel has been showing boxing. honestly i dont think anyone in america knows any boxers not only from america but from anywhere else in the world. im kinda happy u asked this question cuz ive been getting mad over this for the past week

Answer 4

how many people in NZ play handball,and who wants to watch it.

Answer 5

syncronized diving

Answer 6

i don't know, but i'm sick of seeing and hearing bob costas.

Answer 7

Volleyball/beach-volleyball, handball, and water-polo. I get at least four channels that show the Olympics and, at any given time, at least two of these sports are being broadcast... despite the fact that may other (usually more interesting) events are taking place. No disrespect to the athletes but they are not what I see as sports that should be getting a huge amount of coverage.  

Answer 8

i think that its deffinately they really un-eventful sports

such as..

badminton and and wrestling,  weighlifiting and archery  

Answer 9

Beach volleyball. Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh are ALWAYS ON, and Bela Karolyi ranting in that Romanian accent of his is a sport in and of itself.

Answer 10

that question is an insult to all the hard work and effort that each athlete has dedicated to the sport of their choice. the olympics is a showcase of all the amazing things that the body can achieve and i believe it should be celebrated for that.

anyway, whats not to like about beach volleyball? chicks, sweat, bikinis....

i am watching the olympics from queensland (the only aussie state thats won any golds!!)
