Olympic Fatigue

I've been keep up to date on the events in Beijing much like many others across the globe. I've been thrilled with the accomplishments of so many great athletes and I marvel at their ability to do what they specialize in. With that said, I've really begun to grow tired of the commentary surrounding the accomplishments of these athletes. Sure, it's normal to have some interviews and discussions with the athletes and what they were thinking. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with the over-staturated nature of it all though. There's not just one or two interviews, but closer to twenty. Frankly, I don't need nor do I want to hear about the same thing twenty different times.
My first example would be with the swimmer Michael Phelps. What he has done has been amazing, and there's no denying that. But everytime he won a gold, he was bombarded with pundits asking his thoughts and whether he felt pressure. Personally, I would get exhausted just from that. So much so that I would probably take a chair and beat Bob Costas' head in with it. As a spectator from afar, it has really turned me off from the games. Constant loop of interviews and replays get old after about the first five-hundred that are done. Don't get me started on Phelps' mom. I'm sure she's a great lady in person, but I just don't want to see her anymore. We know she loves her son regardless of his gold medals. We know she sits in the stands and makes the same shocked face every time, as if it is some big surprise that her son won. WE KNOW!
Second is the story of Dara Torres, an American swimmer in her Forties that looks like she should be in her late twenties. I mean, she is ripped, but looks great for her age. Like Phelps, we were saturated with her story about her training regimen and how she fought hard to get to where she is without using performance enhancers. I admire her story quite a bit and I know that I wouldn't be able to do that at her age. But please, please, please sports commentators: SHUT UP!
Last, we are getting inundated with the Jamaican runner Usain Bolt. The guy is a an athletic freak, of that there is no question. Do we really have to hear it every time we see him on screen? We know the guy is fast. Why is there not more press about the allegations that he uses performance enhancers? I'm not saying he does, but there are rumors circulating. I won't even bring the Chinese gymnasts into this about their age because I could write for hours about that. Overall, though, I've enjoyed watching the athletes. What they do is incredible. But my sentiments have been dampered by the hyper-attention given by the media. It just makes me want to start watching a bad sci-fi flick.
