Could you imagine cutting off a 9/11 Tribute? Disgusting

Sadly, with NBC, I can.

Its called ratings. They could easily show it live during the day but save it for tv ratings which were through the roof the first night and the swimming finals.

Yeah, as much as it angers people, record ratings for Saturday night showed that NBC is doing the right thing by not airing "signature" events live & saving them for primetime. if you have cable/satellite you can watch them live online, which personally I love. love being able to watch multiple streams online live. I've watched several sports like Archery and Whitewater 1-man canoe/kayak which I never normally watch or knew existed.

Wow, another close 4x100 freestyle relay! Can't believe Lochte dropped the ball. The Americans had the lead at every turn but Lochte couldn't close.

Yeah, Lochte TOTALLY blew it. I read some comments online that said Lochte's goal must be deny Phelps gold medals even it means costing him some too. laugh.png

LOL! People can be so dumb. laugh.png

Phelps now just needs to more medals to have the most ever.

Speaking of dumb, the rule for gymnastic of only have 2 people per country in the finals is pretty dumb.

I agree. Wieber got screwed big time. She was 4th in the Woman's Individual All Around, but can't compete in finals because only 2 per country can go. if either Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas are her roommates tonight, I'd sleep with one eye open. LOL!

It worked so well with the daytime Emmy prenoms. LOL!

I haven't watched Olympic gymnastics this intensely (hooray for TiVo!) since the Magnificent Seven of 1996. I know it's been a good number of years since they changed the scoring system, but it just doesn't seem to pack a dramatic punch that you're no longer able to get a "perfect ten".

And having only 2 gymnasts per team in the all-around? Bela Karolyi said it right: it should be the top 24 gymnasts, not the top 2 gymnasts from the top 12 countries. When did they make this change? From what I remember in the 90's, it was always 3 contenders, not 2.

And I was also surprised when I watched the Olympic tryouts that there are only 5 members on a team, but then they had back-ups? Weird. When I watched them in 1992, there were 6 teammates, then 7 in 1996. Don't remember past that.

Men's synchronized diving, twice the number of nearly-naked men as regular diving. wub.png

I'm glad to see the United States medaling after years of sucking at diving.

Amazing that Missy got that gold after swimming in a race not even 15 minutes before that and only 17! Big future ahead for Missy Franklin. Next "Michael Phelps"

Missy Franklin is only 17. She's everything the promoters love. She's gorgeous, smart, charismatic, has a personality, and is now a gold medalist.
