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..............

I have to give CBC credit, they showed the entire 1500 with no breaks!
With a Canadian in the lead a lot of the way they might have been lynched if they had!
They did however pretend that the Women's relay happened after the men's, but I forgave them because it was better than I originally thought, i.e. they just skipped them.
