I have tired of swimming. Showing semis in prime time does not make sense to me when other events could get some coverage.

Both kids were on a swim team for two years and the prelims and semis drive a spectator into a daze. To have the Olympics filling time showing semis is absurd and boring. I turned it off to watch pre season NFL football. However, what Phelps has been doing in the finals is unparalleled.

Well, glad to know you're enjoying more of the games.
As for archery, I was an instructor for several years at a summer camp and got to be a pretty good shot myself, including winning a tournament or two. Owned a gorgeous 60-lb. Bear compound bow which I still miss and dearly wish I had, but it was lost down the halls of time, thanks to a rather inconsiderate college 'friend.' I doubt I could even pull it now.
But today's bows totally turn me off. Who wants all that ugly 'machinery' in the picture?? Takes all the beauty and romance out of the sport for me, and doubtless much of the challenge. I loved it when it was just a simple bow and me -- not these rather ridic, Rube Goldberg-like contraptions. Call me old fashioned; I don't care.
