Some sports are completely ignored, for example yachting (sailing).
There are seven classes of sailboats being raced: Soling, Star,
Tornado (a catamaran), 420, Flying Dutchman, Finn and Windglider
(sailboard). There are seven days of racing. Some classes have more
than 20 boats participating. Thus far, no mention has been made
on the air of who is winning, let alone any action shots.
Perhaps all ABC reporters get seasick on the ocean.
The US is actually ahead in several classes.
