We all know that Phelps is the greatest swimmer of all times and we know that NBC is an American Network and that patriotism and nationalism are great.
However both NBC and CBC (CBC even more because they didn't even show that Women's 800m Free race) insulted all swimmers and, IMHO, our sport, when, right after Janet Evans's longest-standing record was broken and just as the camera was starting to focus on the British (non-American) winner, Adlington (sp?), they cut to Phelps. That blew me..............
:rant3:
I couldn't believe NBC cut to a commercial during a world record race. :shakeshead: Horrible! We saw the preliminaries of the men's 400 medley relay, but not the whole WR?! That's taking nationalism too far. In general, moreover, we haven't seen as many women's semi-final events.
What a swim for Adlington!
