Default obsession with American athletes
Is it me or are there people out there who feel this way? Let's take diving for example. Laura Wilkinson did win the gold in Sydney and she is still competing. Its great! But Tim Robinson was repeatedly mentioning her fight for the gold. Jeez, she din't even make it to the top 5! Let's show some respect for everyone in the pack. Never got to see the Australian in the final round.

Tim Drackett's coverage of Gymnastics was very good though.

It's not like NBC is broadcasting for primarily the United States...

If you want more in-depth coverage of Australian athletes, watch the Olympics on an Australian network.
