Coronation Night for Michael Phelps
8/16/08

Sorry this is so late. I'm under a tape delay as bad as NBC's. Obviously, tonight's big story is the end of Phelps' quest for eight. His final event is the medley relay, an event the US has never lost. The lineup for the US tonight:

Backstroke: Aaron Piersol
Breaststroke: Brendan Hansen
Butterfly: Michael Phelps
Freestyle: Jason Lezak

Yeah, good luck beating those guys. Also on tap is the 100 meter final, a result we've know about for almost ten hours. Q it all up here.

NBC's Primetime Olympic Schedule

7:30 pm to 10 pm - Deena Kastor won bronze in the 2004 women's Olympic marathon. Now she tries for a U.S. medal in Beijing (LIVE ET/CT). Also, the men's 100m final yields the "World's Fastest Man."

10:00 pm to 12 am - In the men's 4x100m medley relay Michael Phelps swims for his eighth and final Beijing gold medal. If victorious, he surpasses the single-Games record set by fellow American Mark Spitz in 1972. Also, the women's team medley, the grueling men's 1500m free, and 41-year-old Dara Torres tries for her 11th career medal, in the women's 50m free (LIVE ET/CT).

I am flummoxed as to why NBC chose to show the women's marathon in its entirety.  It's more exciting to watch bread burn in a toaster oven.

No disrespect to the athletes, whose endurances are superhuman.
