They did the highlights at the beginning of the show.

**Tyche** · 2012-08-06 21:31

NBC is fucking trash.

**Plow** · 2012-08-06 21:50

seriously I had tried to cut them some slack but when they're playing olympic basketball and it's the only olympics on any of the 4 channels they're using, for half the fucking day on a Sunday...

they can go fuck themselves, hard

fucking miss advised and lockup FUCK

**Plow** · 2012-08-06 21:51

I don't get why they even show olympic basketball to be honest, seriously who the fuck wants to see shit we can watch any time we want, played at a subpar level even for the actual players that are in it, during the damn olympics?

**octopus** · 2012-08-06 21:54

The thing that gets me is that they have dedicated channels for Olympics soccer and basketball (on Verizon Fios at least). Why show the same thing in another NBC affiliate? Have some variety...

Basically she knew she was the best going in, and knew if she stuck her landing, even with a hop or two, she'd be in the clear.. and she choked it up.

Anyway it all makes sense now; she is homeschooled and watches the "kardashions" and jerseylicious. Probably should have assumed as much.

On the same line, a similar article appeared on BBC about the Team GB:

Andy Murray went to a comprehensive, until he was 14 Lord Moynihan, chairman of the British Olympic Association, has described it as "one of the worst statistics in British sport". Half of Team GB's gold medallists in Beijing were privately educated while 93% of the UK population go to state schools.
It's partly about resources and emphasis - private schools tend to have good sport facilities, the coaches and the time to devote to breeding sporting excellence. Provision is more variable in state schools. All of Britain's equestrian winners in 2008 were privately educated.
But there's a growing view that the UK's top sportsmen and women are becoming ever posher. England cricketers used to be state school boys. Today, most are privately educated, as is the case with England rugby players. Even the England football team - traditionally a working class preserve - now has two privately educated midfielders.
Some commentators, like Rupert Murdoch, have said it isn't just resources but down to ideology - a fear of competition in state schools.
It's an argument that public schools inculcate values - discipline, self reliance and competition. It's a false premise, John Harris argued in the Observer. There is a long roll call of Jessica Ennis, Bradley Wiggins, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah, among others, that debunks the view that only private schools produce winners. Indeed, after his victory Farah paid tribute to his comprehensive PE teacher.
The success of Andy Murray has been fought over by both sides. He is a comprehensive boy. But his mother Judy sent him away to a tennis academy in Spain aged 14, which cost £25,000 a year.
Until there's a final collation of which education sector won what at London 2012, the debate over schooling is likely to rage on. At the time of writing, private school athletes had won 32% of Team GB's medals.

I wonder about the rest of the world's competitors.

It's a shame. Watching the replay it's clear he was still hampered by a previous injury. It's hard to imagine how much pressure he's getting from China to compete.

Edit: Aly Raisman got bronze after official complaint ;o
