During the biathlon it was 2-3 minutes of coverage followed by an equal amount of commerical time. And the 2-3 minutes ov coverage wasn't even necessarily action. Sometimes it was just announcers yakking.

Eventually, I got disgusted and turned them off. Sad that the telecasts are more about the sponsors than the competition.
