Convinced NBC makes these broadcasts worse on purpose to spite this board.
Who is closely watching this coverage? The families and friends of the participants and nerds like us on this board.
Completely agree. From my perspective, they are giving us everything except the main course. I don't give a flying f**k, frankly, about the Vaporfly debate. Commercials, endless commercials. This sucks.
And now on to a commercial...I can't believe how bad this is. I've seen maybe 5 min. of the men's race. Is there a feed anywhere just showing the race? This is terrible.

When I tune in to watch a race, I want to watch the RACE! I understand you have to go to commercials, but you waste all this time on other random stories and don't even show the actual running!
Imagine cutting out minutes of action of a basketball or football game with personal interest stories. It's a terrible idea, and it's still a terrible idea for running. At least give us a split screen!
Really disappointed.
It looks like Walmlsey is marking Ward at this point. Good strategy, but we'll see how it plays out.
So far this coverage is one of the worst. I want to see the athletes running not a PR pitch from a Nike-employee commentator.
at least heli cam dude got his sh-t together. Can watch the men's race during commercial breaks on the international feed.
hundred bucks says Luke blames his crappy finish on how he pulled out his phone and took a call from one of his real estate clients because of his dedication to real estate. All marketing what a loser
17s lead for shrader now at 7M. after his big prep half, he could be a dark horse
I blinked so I missed the runners. NBC...

Yes, there is a link on letsrun... track.rtrt.me. is what my browser says on my phone
the international feed appears to be showing the race during commercials and without any commentary;

Any one else getting a error page trying to go through NBC?!?!?!
does rupp look choppier than normal, and appear to have a limp? i dont remember seeing this stiffness from him previously?
Anyone have any idea what’s going on in the race? NBC stream a JOKE and Olympic Channell DOWN making it impossible to watch. FFS.
SPILT SCREEN!!!!! They did it!!!!!

Maybe they're on an uphill? Stride looks shorter, like he's mincing.
