They just can't help themselves with these delays for the Olympics, even when it's unnecessary! http://olympics.cbc.ca/news/article/nbc-air-olympics-opening-ceremony-hour-delay.html Hahahaha. They probably fear there'll be samba and nipples and want to make sure their gun loving christians don't see anything too "inmoral" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only their actual coaches, or also officials of the federations? Yes, team officials will stay in the Village. The number of people expected during the Games is 17,000. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure, but I think Brazil pays for accommodations (and transportation to the venues, of course), and federations pay for travel expenses.

I've seen lots of comments from Americans saying it's 'boring' to watch the other countries walk in. I'm not saying all Americans, just the mainstream viewers. American coverage of the Olympics, both Summer and Winter, is always horrid. Many Americans depend on the Canadian feed to get real, live action. I feel sorry for real American sport fans. Then I remember all the medals they win, and I don't feel sorry anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC's president has said that Olympics are a more of a "woman thing" and that they would rather have an athlete's "journey" than straight sports so that's why they produce the Games as a f*cking episode of The Voice filled with sob stories and crap.
