NBC LA is still showing filler. No live events, no track and field.

No mention of the race yet.

As bad as it is,the real irony is that the Olympics schedule everything around NBC and the US and then NBC tape delays everything anyways.

Ha ha. She's like "you have a medal" and the one racer thinks she's confused says "no we don't".

Equestrian kind of bugs me as an Olympic sport. At the very least the horse that wins should get to step on the podium and receive the medal it won since its the real athlete in that sport.

This is what confused me because based on what CBC said then I thought the Jamaicans should have been disqualified too.

That New Zealand girl who got bronze in pole vaulting is easily the most adorable athlete at these games.

From the IAAF regarding USA protest of 4X100-meter DQ: "All protests and appeals rejected. All results stand.'' US disqualification stands.

The NBC stations in the Mountain, Pacific, Alaskan, and Hawaiian timezones get tape delayed coverage. The Mtn zone is delayed by 1 hour, Pac is 3 hours, and 5 hours for AK and HI. Central and Eastern are the only ones to get the live coverage. It makes no sense for NBC doing this with Rio being on Atlantic time.

LOL. I was also surprised to hear Petr Svoboda's name when he lined up for 110m high hurdle races. Did he get into another athletic career?

So Tirico on NBC just reported that final decision on US appeal of disqualification in 4 x 100 won't be coming until later today, despite multiple reports it had already been rejected.
