i think swimming and beach volleyball is all NBC, but i dont see how nbc would want some finals in the morning, it's not like those finals are american-less, after all christian taylor, the 3000m steeplechase runners, and 400 hurdles for men tomorrow.

 

And i think Taylor could've broke the world record under the right conditions (night time) after seeing how close he got last year in beijing

And with more proper competition...the absence of Pedro Pablo Pichardo, the only man who can realistically beat him, made that final one of the most boring I've seen instead of one of the most exciting (what I was hoping for)..really a shame

Will Claye is a great competition to him, i remember sitting in the first row in the Prefontaine Classic and seeing them beat each other last few jumps, it was a real classic between those 2 (and i was sitting right at the line of the sand)

Yeah, that is not true, no one likes Bolt.

I know, but Pichardo is the only one who can truly push him towards that WR (and Taylor is the only one who can push PPP towards the WR), Claye is great, but not 18+ great like Taylor and PPP

I don't think he is that known outside of cycling.
