Olympics are great, NBC’s coverage has been horrible.

Speaking of the prime time coverage last night: Just one example using the women’s gymnastics coverage of the team championships. First, they only show the Americans against the Russians. No coverage of the other teams esp the medal contenders. Then they never show any of the routines of the gymnasts of other teams that won their specific routine (floor, vault, balance beam). They didn’t show the scores of the highest women who will compete against each other in the individual championships. Tonight they show one routine then go to a commercial, show another one or two routines, commercial, etc.. I realize they have to pay the bills but when you cut up the coverage like they are doing, you wind up losing interest.
There are so many other interesting sports going on, they don’t show any highlights of the days events except for a very few. It feels very disjointed. I guess I’m comparing to years past and everyone’s a critic. Hopefully they cover track and field a lot better.

I enjoy it as well. And yes, they have handled swimming better than any of the other sports. I just feel they could have and have done a much better job in the past.

Congratulations The Law. Hixon and Capobianco were excellent.
