The USA had Garry Jobson commentate and do a terrific job with the Olympics. They had the absolute best possible combination of explanation of sailing and commentating while showing the races. They showed about 20-40 Minutes of each class (only 15 min of tornado and I missed 10 of them). The problem was sailing was on at random times during the 1am-2am hour. It seemed like they did not have the choice of which class to show because they kept showing classes where the Americans were not doing too well.

It is not a sport that will ever draw television audiences in the USA. I was the only one at the club that watched at all. I actually can’t think of a sport in the Olympics that would draw less in the USA. I would have said curling, but you should have this bar we go to when they turned on curling.
