Their correspopndents keep talking, they show the winner's result (time) but don't show the rest like in todays 200 meter final and womens 400 meter hurdles. They also did that several times in previous races. Apparently they don't think anyone is interested in the times clocked by those who place after 1st. (dumb, dumb, dumb.)

I have always watched the Canadian channel during the Olympics because they cover almost all sports, they cover live, and they don't just cover the medal winners. I'm glad to finally be able to get the same (or similar) coverage from NBC. As to whether it is a negative to only get to post after a broadcast or to have to wait for delayed broadcasts, NBC is incurring phenomenal expense to bring us the Olympics. They deserve the right to control the product they produce and its distribution. I have a feeling with 3,600 hours of coverage, there will be enough to go around!!

But beware, it turns out that NBC's Olympic plan can be too good to be true. This are the flaws that I have heard from other blogs and articles: * Sure, NBCOlympics.com will stream 2200 hours of coverage. But none of that live coverage will be of the marquee events like gymnastics and track and field. In an AP Report from last week, the Web will still be taking a backseat to TV. * No other website or news organization (or blog including this one) is allowed to post videos of events prior to their broadcast on NBC. Actually, we can't post videos from the games at all. * NBCOlympics.com will not stream any events that are scheduled to air on TV. So for us hoping to watch the Men's 100 meter final, we'll have to wait until it airs on NBC 12 hours after the event is completed.
