I wanted to make this a poll but couldn't figure out how to do it!
Do people think that the swimming finals should be moved ot the mornig so that they will be on during the evening prime time here inthe States? Many different swimming sites from other countries think that it is a lot of us in hteStates blowing & whinning.
Do what's best for the athletes. The US can delay coverage...
Well it looks like the IOC did not agree with the poll here of 84% in favor of delaying the coverage of USA TV viewing. NBC was able to convince the IOC that it would be in the best interests of the World to have morning finals for best TV coverage and more exposure of the sport. I don't know what enticed the IOC to do this and don't even want to try to guess. Here is a link to opinions from around the world of swimming.
