My Olympics journal. After watching 3 minutes of ski jumping yesterday (1 jump total) today I watched about 10 minutes of 10k biathlon.
So I think I've seen two of the least interesting TV sports in history (I have no doubt of the skill and athleticism necessary but they both make for horrible TV unless something goes horribly wrong).
Though it was refreshing that the announcers for the biathlon were very blunt in saying "because of the fresh snow that started falling after the race began, the early finishers will win and these people you're watching now could have just stayed home since they have no chance of making this interesting." They were practically saying "go ahead and change the channel, they're probably selling the slapchop on one of them and that would be more exciting."
