The Olympics are finally over and everyone can now get some much-needed sleep after watching late night TV of the events on Beijing time.
The track and field events were in the last week and one of the final events was the running of the marathon. Television showed the entire race that lasted over two hours. The problem with watching the marathon is that it takes a long time before a winner is determined. It’s not like the 100-meter dash that gets through in a shade over nine seconds.
People today are very time conscious and if their computer does not flash on in three seconds, they complain and look for one that is more up-to-date and faster. So even the 100-meter dash is a long time for them.
