Early on one commentator was impressed that NBC really aired a lot of womens’ events and few men’s events.
I never saw US men’s gymnastics showing up in my cable TV line-up, so I didn’t watch any.
Perhaps that could be the cause of the lower viewership.

I changed channels when mens’ gymnastics was on, but did watch the womens’ gymnastics.
The mens’ gymnastics is like mens’ ice skating; both seem to be populated by gays.
