While the coverage of Olympics in the US has been critically panned and the Australian coverage has had some interesting feedback from social media users:
The gold medal for most adverts during the #OlympicGames coverage…. Goes to…. Channel seven… Congrats.

At least is hasn’t caused the backlash of the BBC coverage. Trying to keep cool in the hot Rio climate BBC presenter Helen Skelton decided to wear a black playsuit. While the athletes did their best to wow the audiences it was the outfit that got the most attention online.
Can sum1 plz tell @HelenSkelton 2 either wear a longer outfit or trousers & learn 2 sit a bit more ladylike towards camera #RioOlympics2016

@BBCNews Did Helen Skelton forget to put a skirt on?

To the people who have problems with visible legs, perhaps you shouldn’t be watching the swimming? #HelenSkelton
