nbc gets special preference with this scheduling

NBC's payment for broadcasting rights is I think an outright majority of the IOC's total funding, so that buys them a lot of scheduling leverage.

New Olympic record in the semifinal, nbd

I will note that glasses/contacts discussion here finally made me get off my rear end and book an appointment for a very overdue eye exam, so thank you for that.

The best part was her squinting to see the results board at the far side of the pool and the delayed reaction to the win.

Hella respect to the Brazilian S2 athlete in the 100m backstroke who does not have arms and kicked his way to second place in his heat.
