maestro 565 Posted July 2, 2021 #342 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sha' Carrie will appear on NBC later today. We'll see what she has to say. But, considering how much money NBC have invested in the olympics and how important Sha' Carrie is for their marketing campaign, it's rather obvious what to expect.

Since it wasn't the case in the 2019 world championships, I'm just going to assume it won't be the case in the Olympics neither. As a fan of athletics, let's hope they'll stay far away from that monstrosity so that the actual best performing athletes can win.

If true this would be as unprofessional as the alleged behaviour of some France team members who reportedly watched Netflix and NBA playoffs late into the night during the Euro.

Yesterday, when Ståhl and Čeh were both marked the same measure in final round, even Čeh said, this rule is pure nonsense, he told someone could throw WR in first rounds and then still lose.

Yeah, it is purely to create a few minutes of undivided attention for field events in the standard DL 2 hour broadcast. Doesn’t really work, as we can see.
