The Olympics happen too damned fast. On the very first day after opening we get gold medal results of competitions. NBC assumes that the US crowd wants to see more events than others, so a lot of them never get shown. We just get surprised with announcements of placements, which takes all the suspense out of the games. At the same time, US media is under no obligation to keep results under wraps, which means that they get reported in realtime before we get to see them on TV. So they have that to deal with. But that doesn't excuse the ridiculous amount of zoom calls from D-league commentators and celebrities who waste valuable time that could have been used to show events to instead gush incoherently about "what the Olympics mean to me." Really, nobody cares. And if they did care, we have social media for them to express their opinions.
