Can't believe he was doubted. After that time in the semi I knew he wouldn't be touched. Crazy how he can have such a so so start and then just dust everyone.tk421;1240543 wrote:Bolt! Wow 9.63!

He just has an on and off switch. It's incredible. It would be awesome to see him run live.Automatik;1240545 wrote:Can't believe he was doubted. After that time in the semi I knew he wouldn't be touched. Crazy how he can have such a so so start and then just dust everyone.
If it is Gatlin, Gay, Bailey, and one more, I think they have a shot.gut;1240724 wrote:So will the US men have any chance of beating Jamaica in the 4x100?

with all of the events being available live online, its not really a big deal - just annoying. nbc needs to get all the kinks worked out of the live feed, thoughtk421;1240774 wrote:ratings have been huge for NBC, mostly because people don't have any other choice so don't look for them to change anytime soon. The 2016 and 2020 Olympics will be the exact same way.
A buddy of mine who lives in the UK and has been going to the events asked me how it is here. Honestly, with the feeds, it is the same as 2008. It hasn't changed since then really. I watched the games from China online and had the same problems.dazedconfused;1240783 wrote:with all of the events being available live online, its not really a big deal - just annoying. nbc needs to get all the kinks worked out of the live feed, though
ha, they'll still tape delay the major events for prime time in the US. They aren't going to show gymnastics, swimming, etc live when they are in the morning or afternoon. Even with the only 1 hour delay.like_that;1240794 wrote:Rio is only an hour ahead of us, so next Olympics (as well as world cup for us soccer fans) actually won't be that bad.

Swimming never actually happens in the afternoon, but usually early evening. Swim meets with 2 sessions a day are almost always set up as a morning/evening meet. Meaning swimmers get to the pool around 7 or 8AM, Swim from about 9AM-11:30. Then they go eat and sleep from 12-4 then head back to the pool for the evening session from 6-9.tk421;1240806 wrote:the schedule for London has the swimming finals mostly happening between 2:30-4:30 PM, gymnastics have been in the morning. If they have the same schedule for 2016, NBC will tape delay it because they get the best ratings after 8pm.
