Yep, that's why when I watch the Olympics, I watch CBC coverage. I actually get to see the GAMES. Not a never-ending avalanche of athlete profiles and saccharine fluff pieces that have nothing to do with the competition itself.
Put their life stories on the web so people can look them up if they're interested. Spend your prime-time hours showing actual competition.
