I know this is a little late, seeing as the Olympics have been over for more than a week, but in my defense, this was from the final day.
Certain of the larger bus stops in Shanghai are outfitted with flat-screen TVs (and no, nobody tries to break them, steal them, or spray-paint them. There is something to be said for civilized society, and you may read that as you will). Most of the time, as far as I know -- it has to be said that I don't pay too much attention -- they are either off or showing ads. On a Sunday in the not too distant past, however, this one was showing the US-Spain gold-medal basketball game. It drew a much bigger crowd (I counted as many as 25 people in the last five minutes of game time) than the Chinese guy in the boxing bout that preceded it.
