...but here in the MST time-zone we got almost nothing but women's volleyball, ad nauseam, day in and day out with just a little swimming, equestrian, rowing and track thrown in; hardly any gymnastics, no decathalon, no weightlifting, no sailing, one or two soccer and basketball games. As we watched the recap of the games before the closing ceremonies, we realized how much we'd missed.  We were pretty disappointed with the coverage.

The roller-skating nuns are a large-scale reference to Spamalot.
