Am I missing something? I thought your title clearly stated the you would be posting the Early Olympics results with a caution not to look for those who preferred waiting.

It just frosts me that NBC can't cover the whole Olympics live I agree and thought that we would be seeing it live. I understood the problem with the time difference when shown in Asia, but what's their reasoning now?

I think NBC thinks they will get better ratings if they tape delay the events for later in the day. My solution would be to show the events live, and those of us who can't catch the events at that time could, like, tape them ourselves to watch later. And then NBC could broadcast the night events LIVE, and do their sappy athlete profiles at night, and wrapup at night, instead of trying to squish everything all together. What they are doing right now is satisfying no one.
