What do you mean? It's on right now...
Tape delay...it doesn't even make any sense to tape delay things with as much technology as there is today, from DVR, to streaming to apps on phones. What do they think this is, 1988?

I understand why they tape delay, but do it for the crap no one cares about, not their biggest draw of the night in their medal round match.
It's not like they played at noon, they played in prime time.

Ok, well, that makes the rejoining the match after commercial break a mystery. I thought we were not getting to see every point because it was live, and they just cut away for commercials. That's stupid if they can't even show us all the action since it's tape-delayed.
LOL, Justin Gatlin just committed a mortal sin...he looked over at the last moment before crossing the line. He didn't even make the finals to face Usain Bolt.
If you feel arrogant enough to look to the side against your competition in a race, you'd better make sure you make it across before them. Like the Tortoise and the Hare. Usain Bolt he is not.
He's the second best spinter in the Olympics, to not make the 200m final is embarrasing. Easy for me to say, it wasn't easy to get there, but still...
My biggest concern was terrorist activity there. Hopefully we'll be able to say that the "worst" thing that happened so far at these Olympics games is the pool water turned green.
Pick pockets, stuff like that, happens everywhere but just keep your wits about and you're fine.
Why the Hell do they interview runners right after the race? At least give them a 5-minute cool down to catch their breath and show the interview later or something. The common theme in all the interviews I've seen, except maybe Bolt's, is that the runners are out of breath while trying to talk to some douche (I just always wanted to use that phrase, it's not in my vernacular). The last thing I would wanna do after running a harsh race is say anything to anyone unless its "call 911" because I'm having a heart attack.
Edit: I have a big sig and I'm not making another post to clog up space...
Over a billion people and India has only one medal at the Olympics. I mean, they can't all be playing cricket, can they? They should be doing half as good as China, I'd think anyways with the roughly equal population. And China has worse athletes than India as far as I can tell.

India doesn't have a good sports infrastructure, while China does.
