(after a few decades of not watching the Olympics, with the weather around here I've been watching it as a diversion)
It was uncomfortable, for sure. But this is after a week of so many of those elite atheletes blaming the snow, uniforms, the ice, the weather, just about anything but themselve. It's bizarre and self-centered. Fact is, they lost a lot of races to atheletes who adapted better than they did, and they should be more gracious. For Bode Miller, it seemed to be all about him and his quest to godliness.
I thought that NBC has been trying to humanize these atheletes. That honest display of emotion was the first time I could stand Bode Miller.
JMHO
I see Bode Miller as a ‘complex’ guy....and I’m sure the minute I became a ‘fan’ of Bode, he would disappoint me in some way. I don’t dislike him...just very reluctant to ‘like’ him.
I understand the desire to humanize the athletes, but this reporter just kept pressing and pressing. I found it weird.
