That is one of the non-sports. They are legion.

 

Baseball and softball back too.

She's fine for what she is because of her height and that works against 85 percent of the teams they face. If she took the Taurasi spot in four years I think it'd be okay.

It was pretty obvious from the first game that they hoped Gray was going to be fully ready to go by the time the tournament started and that certainly wasn't the case.

 

Paralympics goes back to back in the same host city. A couple more weeks to go.

 

I think they’ll go live coast-to-coast, as they did for Tokyo (with a special West-only half-hour during news in the East).

 

IIRC ABC did a lot of live coverage in 1984. They took a break around 11 EDT so affiliates could have their late local news, the back at it.

OTOH, NBC delayed a lot of stuff in Salt Lake and Vancouver on the OTA network. Some things were live on the Networks of NBC - a USA-Russia hockey game on the anniversary of the Miracle on Ice comes to mind.

 

I’m always melancholy when the Games end. For some reason, this one hit me harder than two or four years ago.
