If figure skating is the most popular event at the Olympics
(That's what Costas and Lampley say), Then WHY in the HELL do they not show more of it..

Waited ALL day, and whoopee.. got to see 6 pairs skate..and not even in a row.. Had to watch mongrel jumping skiing whatever..and aliens on skates going in circles inbetween the pairs skaters..

Is there any online place where you can stream specific events..start to finish??

1. I don't know about streaming but...
if you get the USA Network, they have an hour long show every day called "Olympic Ice." I watched it yesterday and they didn't show full programs...but none had really happened yet. But they kind of handicap the field and talk to experts and do interviews.

But I was yelling at the TV when I had to watch so many 6 minute speed skating pairs!!! I like the "aliens on skates" definition though.

2. So true. Why can't they show the whole competition?
Why must they constantly switch to different sports? Ludicrous.
