I must say I thoroughly loved the Winter Olympics, and have every time its been on that I can recall.

But the coverage by Ch7 was a disaster. It was delayed 24 hrs (or there abouts) giving everyone else the ability to give you the results. It was on late at night where they could have put it on at any time as it was already delayed. There was an enormous number of adds. And worst of all they spent 3/4 of the coverage on ice dancing. I mean I like watching girls parce arround in not much (funny watching the guys do the same does nothing for me), but only for so long.... we dont even compete in it as still thats all they showed. Events such as Ice Hocky barely got a mention (which is far more exciting that ice dancing), even the finals was trimmed to crap and were played about 3 days late. How about some coverage of the blue ribbon events such as the downhill, again edited to nothing.... I think someone at Ch7 should take some note of their audience (there is more than ice dancing at the Winter Olympics).
