To some degree I kinda find a lot of sport infantile. Maybe we should just call the men boys more (Lochte springs to mind...).

It did make me cringe though. There were a few occasions where the commentators actually caught themselves doing it and corrected themselves. Thought overall I found the coverage of women in the Olympics to be broadly reverential and not, in the main, patronising, at least not on the BBC where I was watching it.

I agree with 99% of the examples, but there is one glaring error. Katinka Hosszu was the swimmer from Hungary and the commentary was quite valid. She swam in the 2012 Olympics and did very poorly. She asked her boyfriend at the time to replace the swimming coach she had been with since college. After he took over as her coach and changed her regimen, she destroyed her competition in the World Cup and her dominance carried over to this Olympics.

He is now her husband, but seriously he deserves credit for turning her into a better swimmer in competition. Other than that, I fully agree that the video is quite accurate.

The coolest thing by far watching these Olympics is seeing the diversity up on that podium. Black, white, hispanic, asian, muslim, jewish...

US is kicking ass but that to me is where we really crush it. Pretty damn cool!

Athleticism, body awareness, control, balance..... amazing.

Tell me why gymnastics is an olympic event but this isn't?
