I'm gonna guess I know the answer, but any chance this can be rewatched on YouTube or anything?

as I wrote in the swimming thread, if you're not a fina.tv subscriber, Italian TV has it all (with VPN...and a free registration)...

by the way, who was the TV director? Mickey Mouse? the first idiot taken from the local mental health institute?

 

basically, we've watched 50+ mins for nothing, just to know the winner (who was clear since the last km mark)...

 

he missed out on all the action in the last 200m (keeping the cameras stuck only on the lone leader) and then he didn't even show the final sprint for silver, bronze and all the minor placings...

 

 

p.s. disappointing race for Italy, with Guidi never in contention and Acerenza who did show all of his inexperience in open water swimming, losing a highly likely medal in the last 200m...
