Be glad they're not carrying guns, because 'Murica  

But that would be even more wild, t-rex race while holding guns

Pretty much what our commentator said ,excluding the publicity stuff

It's probably not terrible comapred to other Olympic sports, but comaprative to college or professional sports, there isn't as much coverage, marketing, etc. (generally).

 

International sports also just don't seem to draw US audiences they way they draw audiences else where in the world. It could be down to poor marketing or high competition from other sporting/cultural events, but I'm not sure in that regard.

Yes, but the desire to have a bunch of senior citizens race is definetly an American trait
