Because of the announcers.
I vastly prefer to watch the Olympics, especially Figure Skating in
Russian. Other than them actually showing the whole thing *grumbles at
NBC*, they actually tell what song is playing and some interesting
background and meaning. In addition they explain the technical parts
and scoring. Much of this is during the breaks between sets, which they
actually show.
They have a tendency to have silly moments and get into weird discussion too.
After the Flamenco: "I am remembering Spanish but I forgot all the words."
After the Ukrainian folk dance: "The other announcer is indisposed because he was dancing along."
After the Japanese dance: "I was waiting for them to drop it during the
whole program but they only did at the end." (Talking about the fans the
dancers were using, they forgot to say "fan" for a bit there.)
After one of the dances: "They had wonderful creative lifts as you can only do so much with two legs, two arms and two heads."
My mum just about fell over laughing at the last one.
