At that time, they held the rights to ALL the sports and decided what got shown. They wouldn't give anybody info on how much they would sell rights for a sport for, until after the event and they said they would sell groups of four sports for $9,000.00 worldwide. Of course by then the events were over and other than study for the next competition they were useless.

I remember that stupidity they tried.
