I think they're at the liberty of the Olympic schedule. I guess there isn't anything else going on "at this moment" that's more interesting. If I'm not mistaken, swimming is coming back at around 10 eastern and then it's gymnastics, a little later in the Beijing morning.

I suspected it was something like that with scheduling. Again, I don't really have anything against synchronized swimming- I just figured it's not really the big draw you want to start off your big show to keep people from changing the channel.

That said, the standard of "it takes a lot of skill" pretty much goes for anything in the Olympics
