Worst Olympics Ever

Well coverage that is. NBC in the US has taken something I look forward to for 4 years and turned it into the worst television week of my life.

It started by them choosing not to show women's gymnastics live, rather they taped it and showed it over 12 hours later.

It continued with the inability to show any other athletes other than Americans. Gymnastics apparently was competed by only China and the US. It continued further by their inability to show final results. An American came in 2nd. Who came in first and third and sixth and tenth? What were their times or distances?

It continued with incessant coverage of Michael Phelps. A great athlete? Yes. The only athlete? No but according to NBC the only athlete worth covering and lingering on and interrupting other events for and shoving down my throat all day every day.

Track heats have been completely ignored.

The icing on the cake was when NBC chose to tape delay by over 12 HOURS the men's 100 m track final. Not only the premiere event of every Olympics but in this case the fastest race ever. 9.69 seconds. And I still haven't seen it. And it happened YESTERDAY.

Worst coverage... EVER.
