The men did 6 laps in about 2 hours, watched it on the computer where there is only just a little bit of written commentary, but the entire course is covered by cameras. The word was it was not technical enough, so they made it more technical. Looks like at least one downhill was technical . . .

Thanks. That's so gay that they'll show 200 volley ball games but no MTBing! Thanks again for the link.

They showed it late night on NBC, dedicated close to 45 min to it. What happened to the US? Didn't even come close to medals in either the men's or women's.
