Olympic Live Tape-Delayed Goodness: BMX Makes Its Not-So-Long Awaited Olympic Debut
8/19/08
If you don't think NBC is hurting now that Michael Phelps is out of the pool and getting text messaged by Lindsay Lohan, then you obviously haven't been paying attention. In some bizarre move to appeal to the under-12 crowd, NBC is showing the live debut of Olympic BMX bike racing this evening instead of some actual worthwhile event. Not really sure who in the hell approved that, but bad decision.Just going by personal opinion, it seems like people either burned themselves out on Phelps or simply care less about track and field this year. Which there's nothing wrong with. I remember in the past when there was little reason to pay attention to swimming, what with guys like Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson competing in track and field.
Anyway, aside from BMX (radical, brah!) everything else - women's and men's gymnastics, track and field, diving - is tape-delayed.
Special Note: Team USA is playing Australia at 8am EST Wednesday morning. We will have a live thread for that, so bring your coffee.
Tonight's Primetime Olympic Schedule
8pm to 12pm - Coverage of men's BMX cycling (LIVE ET/CT). New to the Olympic program, the unpredictable racing event features steeply banked turns, big jumps and huge crashes. In gymnastics, it's the final night of individual event competition (men's parallel and high bars; women's balance beam). Also, track and field, finals in women's 400m, 100m hurdles, and men's 1500m. Plus, the men's springboard diving final.
