I hope they do not restrict broadcasting only to Japanese sportsmen. Just like they do in the American baseball news. "Now sports, in the major leagues, Ichiro threw four hits, Dodger pitcher Nomo did not allow any runs, .."

Just hope they can show as many events as possible ... not only those with Japanese players in them.

What does the IOC do with all this rights money they receive? Panasonic is usually the main broadcast sponsor, so you know that it is their technology that is being used and donated as part of the deal. Does the IOC pay for stadiums? No. Do they pay for security? No. Do they pay for travel expenses for athletes? Don't think so. So what they hell do they do with all this money!
