After showing the 50, they had about 25 minutes to show a ±15 minute race and what did they actually show?...maybe 4 minutes? They didn't start coverage until it was almost half over, showed about 100 before the interview with Dara, went to about a 4 minute commercial break (during which the whole race changed), then showed the final 200. Horrible coverage.In NBC's defense, I think they were planning on covering the 100 meter run-off between Felix and Tarmoh. When that didn't happen, they were scrambling to fill time. Let's be honest, airing an hour of swimming trials on prime-time TV for a week straight is already asking a lot. Covering the 1500 being contested by non-superstars that don't really represent credible medal threats is probably asking too much. Yes it's annoying that they cut away just when Jaeger and Gemmell caught La Tourette, but I'm more annoyed at all of the great semis that they missed in their obession to air every second Phelps swam the entire trials.
