The American TV isn't broadcast live, but it is early afternoon over there so, so they obviously record it up and show it later.

Im confused, Im sure I watched the Sydney and the Chinese Olympics live - as I said its a poor show by American media - no other way to paint it when they are happy to defer an interview with Soni to allow the BBC to step in, who has just defended her title and won Gold in discipline that they normally get a haul of medals...

EDIT: Im sure somewhere on some pay channel its live, just annoys me how blase their mainstream media are...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Phelps is a brilliant swimmer, but I'm fed up of hearing about him now.

Skeeter · 2 Aug 2012 at 20:24

Yeah, I remember being up stupid late for Sydney.

Maybe US swimming isn't as big in the US as we think it is?

Its a shame some of these finals have fallen on the same evening. Lochte loosing out because of his backstroke final, and Le Clos pulling out all together to wait for the Fly.

Phelps with another gold

Skeeter · 2 Aug 2012 at 20:42

Look, I think we need to have an Ian Thorpe drinking game. Look, you could drink every time he says look. And look, we would all be hammered by the 3rd race.

Look.

Rebecca Adlington's 800m freestyle final is at 19:45 tonight.

Alpherah · 3 Aug 2012 at 08:38

Oh my god, poor Thorpe! He's last person off air and first on air every morning it seems, talk about getting your monies worth.

Swimming coming up, Adlington in the 800m final tonight and also the greatest olympain to ever competed in the Olympics, Phelps is up for another gold...really hoping he gets it.

Yas786 · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:33

Womens 200m backstroke...come on Missy!!!

Yas786 · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:35

Dear god Missy wins and breaks the WR as well....unbelievable, what a swimmer and shes only 17 :eek:

Spenty · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:37

No one cares about the yanks.

explicit4u · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:38

Missy Franklin destroys the world record. She's 6 months younger than me! it's depressing how young some of these athletes are.

Guerrilla · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:39

And she can potentially get faster as she gets older :eek:

... She has also had a fairly full schedule to compete in.

The_One · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:39

phelps has a different set of beats for every race!

Yas786 · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:40

Phelps up now...come on Phelps, bag that second gold for yourself...hes got a tough race though.

100m butterfly final.

NightSt@lk3r · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:41

Cmon Bert Le Clos' son!

cm1179 · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:42

oh f off phelps

Yas786 · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:42

Woooohoooo Phelps comes back and bags the gold...awesome just pure awesome swimming from him.

Le Clos lost it, just didnt have it in him to win today but gets a silver...hes another one to watch out for.

Phelps 3 time olympic champion in 100m butterfly...3rd gold medal for the guy...how can anyone say he isnt the greatest olympian is beyond me truly.
