[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it really fair to call so and so the best in the world if they have a bigger budget? Has there ever been an attempt to level the playing field? I remedy the 80s Winter Olympics and loved that the US used amateurs against professional Russians and won, but the olympics have really gotten stale. It was cool to attend in '96 but there wasnt as much thrill seeing the US win, and it continues to slide especially with 24/7/365 sports TV. There are a few individual stories that are somewhat interesting, but NBC continues to focus primarily on the US. The CBC always seemed better at covering a broader range of countries not just their own. [/quote] According to NBC, there are only a few Olympic sports: Beach volleyball, swimming, basketball, soccer, and the 100-meter dash.[/quote] And women's gymnastics. [/quote]
