Or if despite being a large, rich country with a diverse population, the US was only competitive in a small number of events. But that's not the case; NBC could fill its prime-top slots entirely with footage of Americans competing in events they will medal in, and not fit it all in.I'm sure Chinese television showed a lot of badmitton and table tennis and even weightlifting. And that countries which had fewer home-grown stars to show just focused on the few locals and then went to things they think have general interset.</blockquote>
