What I found utterly annoying is the "let's go back and forth between sports". Seriously, if you are going to show like 4 things in one night, just go in order and stop skipping around.

I only watched the ice skating portions of the Olypmics but it was so annoying to fast foward through like 10 minutes to have 1 skater perform, then fast foward through another 10 minutes to have 1 more skater peform and then fast foward through like 30-45 minutes to have maybe 2-3 perform and I would finally get to see the rest of the skaters in the last like 45 minutes of the telecast (of the 4 hours I recorded). This is why I hate watching the Olympics.

Albeit, it was years ago, I remember the 94 Olympics and watching them with my family and they didn't do this crap of going back and forth. The night of the women's free skate it was on at like 7 and that is what they showed. They didn't keep interrupting the free skate to show curling, hockey or speed skating (etc...).

I understand that they have a lot of sports to cover, but seriously, people watch for certain sports.
