We're simply not in the right time zone surely?
I'll be mad as hell if they schedule events during the night for financial reasons. I don't care whether it's pandering to the dollar, the yen or the bhat - if I can't watch the Olympics at a reasonable time in my own city then I don't see why my taxes should pay to hold it in the first place.

Exactly my point!
The olympics are televised pretty much around the clock here. It's very popular and everyone seem to be keeping up with what's going on. Australia is a nation of sports lovers though, and we excel in most sports we represent, so that's probably a big part of it. We're all very impressed with our olympians. They are doing our small nation very proud.
