I don't know about that, I don't find it shocking or anything that a country would focus on its own team, but I think America overdoes it, and more so than other countries. Once a while back on a trip up North I saw the Canadian coverage of the Olympics and I thought it was much better than ours, and its was much less biased. Maybe it's because Canada doesn't have quite as much to brag about in the Olympics, not sure, but it beat our coverage anyway.
