@Linkat,
I watched some rhythmic gymnastics yesterday morning. There was only one competitor from the U.S., and I believe that she was there as the continental representative. I think they aren't giving this much coverage because there isn't much U.S. involvement. It seems to me I've seen much more coverage of rhythmic gymnastics in the past--I wish they did put it on in prime time.
The synchronized swimming was great fun to watch. Russia took the team gold medal again.
