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

So that brings me to the question will CBC tonight show the whole 1500 meter race? With Ryan Cochrane having a chance to win the 1500 Free and since there have been no Canadian swimmer to win a gold medal, I would think they are going to show the whole race. I remember them showing the complete 1500 at one of the Olympics but I can't remember which one.
I wouldn't count on them showing the entire race, 15minutes is a long time to go without a commercial in tv land. The live streaming on their web site will show it uninterrupted, I watched the 800m there last night.
Miracle of miracles. They did show the whole uninterrupted 1500m. The only time they previously did that (that I know of) was during the Montreal Worlds.
