Mike P asked: I think I saw someone from another country out of focus on the edge of screen during one of the US girl’s floor routines, but that’s about it.
I swear from this coverage you’d think the USA and China are the only teams competing.
Yeah, I understand they are going to focus on American athletes, I just didn’t quite anticipate how much.
Back in Australia we would definitely see far more actual EVENTS with Australians in them than without, but when they were on you’d get to see pretty much everyone who was competing.

presidentrichardnixon asked: For example, Michael Phelps eats 8000-12000 calories a day depending on which source I read. Lets suppose it’s 10,000 per day, and the recommended daily allowance for much of the population is 2000 per day, then does Michael Phelps also eat 5x the saturated fat, 5x the sodium, 5x vitamin A, etc?
Can anyone actually read the question correctly before answering?
