Smart money says they won't. They have been holding back the big finals for prime time. |

Hi! Unfortunately, we are showing beach volleyball during that time slot. Please tune in from 8:00 pm - Midnight Eastern, we will be showing the race in tape delay sometime during that four hour window. Enjoy! |

Also, sorry to say, if no American medals it will be shown in a 45-second recap very early in the Prime Time tape, the start and then the interchangable dark guys finishing. If an American medals, it will be shown later with only one commercial interruption. If an American wins, you will know by the up-close-and-personal 3-minute profile that airs during the boring middle part of the race. |

The online feed by NBC isn't much better during the distance events. Yesterday during the women's steeplechase final they started the race and literally after the first lap it went to a one minute commercial. Right after the commercial they spent another minute on the pole vaulters. They went to the race for a minute or two then went back to pole vaulting. They continued until the end disrupt the race to show pole vaulting. And I know BBC is better but I can't do BBC at work. |
