"Vietnam has only ever gotten one Olympic medal, but they did very well in the Math Olympiad, winning hundreds of medals. They may not have very good athletes, but when it comes to the Pythagorean theorem, they're all over that," quoth the NBC commentator. Ahh . . . non-math people. That, and, even better, the completely irrelevant commercials were the funniest part of the coverage thus far.
