OT: Olympic Coverage

Really. In Australia we just have event after event. The winners are interviewed but only for about 10 seconds, say as they leave the pool.
Has anyone seen the womens Beach Volleyball. It doesn't seem very Olympic to me. I knew the contestants could be disqualified if their costumes were too big (Like more than 10 cm (4 inches), but I am surprised how little they are. It just seems like an oppurtunity to watch women jump about on the sand in skimpy costumes.

Has anybody else noticed the cheerleaders at some of the events? What's up with that? Totally cheapens the event IMHO.
