What are they showing here?
Michael Phelps, NBA, Michael Phelps, gymnastics, Michael Phelps. Get the picture? :-)
If Michael Phelps was his own country, he'd be coming 3rd in the gold medal count. haha
My goodness, they must have sensed me complaining. I just got an Eamon Sullivan sighting in the 100 free semis. |

| They just repeated Rice's win again. They can afford to waste all the time they like because apparently there's nothing else on today. Except for archery, badminton, basketball, boxing, fencing, handball, hockey, sailing, shooting, softball (Aust v US started at 2pm our time), table tennis, volleyball and water polo. |

You think thats bad, you should have just seen the interview this NBC shrew did with their women's gymnastics team, who just won a silver medal.
I'm not sure if someone gave her the idea that it was her job to attempt to make 16 year girls who had just won a silver medal cry - but she sure sounded like it and almost succeeded in her mission. I wanted to slap her silly. Especially her interview with the girl who fell a couple of times - just cringeworthy stuff.
The commentators expected the team to win gold in that event - she sounded like a bitter old shrew that they didn't. Pitiful stuff. |

nyyangel, don't worry, you're not the only person complaining about coverage - or rather, lack of it!
If you look at these boards you'll see that most of the posts are about 7's abysmal coverage!
And thanks for the info; I was wondering what they would show in Amercia! |

At least in Sonia Kruger's defence, she adds a little personality without taking herself so seriously.
Griggs and Wilson have no personality.
Matthew White on the other hand has credibility, personality, and prfessionalism. |

I'm just venting cause I didn't get to see Steph's medal ceremony, Slyde. I get why, it just annoys me.
One world, one dream - yeah right, lol.
You'd think that these channels that paid a lot of money for the coverage, they'd want to provide something that people would want to watch wouldn't you?
NBC for all the money they spent isn't even showing stuff live to half the country, sounds like real wise investment to me. People just hit the internet for their coverage and know the results before the race is even shown. |

firstly, if they dont want others veiwing it they shouldnt even post it.
and secondly did anyone just see the last 20 minutes, ads, come back to stephanie rice replay, then after that waist of time they did hightlights of the same replay and now to more ads. i am annoyed |

latest headline by the sportswriters on the Yahoo7 site:
"Olympics: US sprint star out to make Jamaicans feel not so Gay "
so original. not.
they think they can win back our affections with some elementary school humor. pathetic attempt. |

Well Griggs was a swimmer who represented Australia once. Gives her some credibility to be a swimming presenter. As for Wilson, one of the biggest ditz's, in Australian media I have no clue about.
I actually think the directions the people given to the people in front of the camera on 7 make them look more stupid than they are. |
