I have no problem with it. In fact, it's one of my (many, many, many) pet peeves with NBC's coverage is that they tend to ignore anyone from other countries unless he or she is a superstar. I'm all for national pride, but it'd be nice to acknowlege athletes from other countries as well.

Besides, does Lindsey Vonn need to be on the cover of THAT too?

Agreed, and Colas is a legend. I was thinking more in terms of maybe putting Deneen or even Mike Morse

I'm guessing there wasn't much thought put into it. quick scan of practice photos by the layout editor, pick the best one and slap it on the back cover.

Same here. Much better overall coverage in other countries.

I watched portions of the 2008 Summer Olympics from South Africa (along with some of the U.S. presidential election coverage). Definitely a different perspective on both events.
