NBC's camera work for the swimming competition so far SUCKS!
They keep switching to odd angles where you cant see if the swimmers are gaining or falling behind.

So in the women's 400 Indiv Medley, 

An Aussie wins the gold, first woman under 4:30

A Zimbabwean from lane 1 gets silver, also under 4:30 beating the WR except coming in 2nd in this race.

An American rounds out the medals.  The current record holder, now 3rd best time ever recorded.

So the medal ceremony starts and NBC shows (of course) the Aussie proudly listening to her country's anthem.

NBC shows the American, wishing it was the SSB playing instead,

NBC neglects to show silver medalist Kirsty Coventry at all.  The only woman from her country to ever medal in Olympic swimming. Winning one of each color in Athens, she now backs it up in Beijing.

Of the five medals awarded Zimbabweans, Coventry has 4, the 1980 women's Field hockey team getting the solitary other (Gold).

Apparently Coventry did not deserve much airtime.

 :rolleyes: NBC idiots

Maybe Coventry got good coverage in her own country?  I think I can understand NBC focusing it's spotlight on US athletes as that is where NBC broadcasts?

Let Zimbabwe covers it's swimmers.  Can't imagine if NBC tried to focus special attention on all non-USA medal winners.
