My family has a question they'd like me to ask any Americans I know:

Has there been much(/any) coverage of or news about, the World Swimming Championships (on at the moment in Melbourne) in the US? The US team has done well, especially Michael Phelps (he's just...wow - 6 gold medals and counting, it was a shame about the relay, plus multiple world records), and they're just interested in how the sport gets covered there vs how it's covered here.

Thanks for indulging their curiousity :)

Since I work for USA Swimming, everyone I know tells me when they watch something to do with swimming on tv. It appears that they've been covering quite a bit of the World Champs based on how much people have watched and told me what happened.
