Bonjour!
As I only have access to French T.V. I am experiencing the Olypmpics from the French point of view. There was a French broadcaster who was wearing a T-shirt with the UK flag on it and every so often the screen would flash with a scoreboard of the gold medal count with "The Queen's Loyal Subjects" versus the "Froggies". I am not exactly sure why there is this English guy. The Olypmic coverage is especially focused on fencing or judo. Paris has a large judo complex and it's a very popular sport. Other sports that have been shown but not as much are swimming, bandminton, woman's bike racing, hand ball, long boat racing and a few seconds of gymnanistics. In fencing, it seems that you must constantly tell the judges you are the best and that you should get the point b/c they touch each other with the long pointy sword at the same time. Or so J. tells me as he does a little translating. I understand only a few words here and there but not enough to follow the entire broadcast. So what is being covered in America? If you have a moment drop me line and let me know!
