I don't know what CBC is so that must be the answer, only ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS plus local Fox station, not news. That's it for here, we spent the commo budget getting DSL here instead of satellite. No cable available here. Country problems.

OK, so your fancy Horse games do get airtime. How much attention do you think the Olympic shooters will get? The shotgun folks traditionally get the most of any, followed this year by men's running target, since running target is going away after these games. I bet Our pistol shooters don't get any coverage. But then again, I only get network TV, so I'm probably not in the know.

Oh, and this may be for the better, TS if you think the Horse games are boring, Watch a 10 meter match, Rifle or Pistol. Paint drying is riveting after watching a bunch of folks sloooowly raise their weapon, fire one shot, lower their weapon, load, repeat. and the targets don't even DO anything!

We need an olympic shooting sport on steel IPSC targets at various unknown distances, fired with an AK. How better to let the underdeveloped nations have a level playing field? 1000+ dollar airguns are out of reach, but I am willing to bet there are a few AK's out there.

My cousin played beach volleyball and is about to go into the volleyball hall of fame

I saw a lot of beach volleyball when she was playing and let me tell you those "uniforms" are second to none !

Actually the shooting matches were on MSNBC this morning at the same time the Dressage was on Bravo. The networks such as NBC will understandably show the high profile events as well they should. However you have a vast choice of events on the other channels and most all events will be aired. You will see much more than you would if you were there.

I'll see if I can dig some up

Of course my cousin was dominating the tour in the early 90's so I'll have to scan 'em as well

I gotta say it was a great time to be her little cousin when all the players were around..............
