Running total hours recorded on my Tivo, starting with the Opening ceremony through midnight Friday--210 hours so far.
- Ryan Lochte is not a great public speaker, if his interviews on NBC are any judge.
- So the gymnastics score goes out to a thousandth of a point, but when a tie still occurs, one person gets the medal and the other doesn't? I guess those medals are too expensive to just hand out to anyone.
- I would hate to be one of the shot put judges--you're constantly avoiding heavy objects. I guess it's better than the javelin.
- There's another apparent gaffe from NBC involving promos--although in this case someone is overreacting. Costas was talking about Gabby Douglas's win, and then a promo was shown for the upcoming "Animal Practice" series. The promo includes a monkey on gymnastics rings. I can see the potential slight, but I doubt NBC intended it.
- There hasn't been a lot to cover today--maybe that's why NBC decided to start prime time with a two-part film piece on the "Magnificent 7" gymnastics team from 1996.
- I continue to be impressed by Missy Franklin--not only for her swimming performance, but for the fact that she has rejected all endorsements so she can stay on her high school (and soon college) swim teams.
More to come.
