The tearjerker stories run longer that the actual events.
That's why people no longer care about the Olympics. The soap opera media has killed the games. Did Katie win a gold medal for her shopping trip in Torino? What sport was the condoms with ballons on their heads? .

They were hyping up the mens 1000 meter race with the American Ohno. Long drawn out story, and the announcer says the event will be aired "later tonite" - 5 hours from now.
Switched channels and the news ticker said he won 3rd. No reason to watch the event.
Very boring coverage. The soap opera stories wear on you after awhile. They should just show the events - that's what the Olympics are about.
