Sadly your neighbors to the south will not see much of anyone but Americans. I once spent a Summer Olympics fortnight in Britain. The BBC showed all the athletes from all the countries and many of the qualifying heats, trials, etc. NBC usually shows American athlete interviews and NBC reporters. I would like to see much more of the games.

Oh, I know, I’ve seen the US networks’ coverage of the Olympics. Pretty pathetic. Don’t get me wrong, I can understand the natural inclination to give more coverage to the sports where your (or my) country is a serious player, but running fluff pieces when there’s actual sports going on is pretty poor. CBC’s coverage usually seems better balanced and more sport-oriented. We’ll see how CTV’s coverage of the games goes.
