Ayepecks Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 http://www.nbcolympics.com/trackandfield/5049194/detail.html WHEW-WHO! 1-2-3 in the 400M dash! That's so freaking awesome. Wariner ran a 44.00, too! So damn close to 43... he'd be the first person since Johnson retired to run a 43, had he run that. 400M dash rocks! :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/207803-olympics-400m-results/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Jeremy Wariner is one sick dude. The ease he runs at, it looks so simple and easy for him. I can't wait now until 2008 to see him after a few years of more training and experience. Not that it matters, but it's been a long time since a white sprinter this good has come along. Ottis Harris and Derrick Brew also have great potential, I think Beijing is another 1-2-3.

The ease he runs at, it looks so simple and easy for him. Tell me about it! I run the 400 and I can tell you that he has AMAZING form... extremely fluid. Makes it look really easy when it's arguably the hardest track race.

L3thal Veteran Posted August 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 24, 2004 They only show the olympics late night, which means they are filmed. I confirmed this when on ESPN.com it said Phelps's team won the relay for his eigth medal and NBC said it was going to happen later in the night.

bithub Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Why aren't they live? No oppurtunity for commercial breaks? Uh, geography? US is on the other side of the planet. No one wants to stay up until 3:00AM to see their favorite events ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/207803-olympics-400m-results/#findComment-584420139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thop Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well you can show them live and still a "best of" in the evening. I mean there are a trillion channels in the US one of them must surely be dedicated to the olypmics? :D The 100M f.e. was at ~3PM US time anyway.

Billprozac Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I live on the east coast, and it is a 7 hour time difference. Many of the good event happen mid-day in Greece, which is like 7:00 am here and would be 4:00am in California. I am glad they replay the event so I could see awesome matches like the Womens Beach VOlleyball tonight that fng rocked. ANyways, time delay is nothing new. If you remember, the winter Olympics were in Nagano a few years ago, which is like 13-14 hours ahead...and Sidney was like 10-11 hours. I actually like the competition more than what medals we get....go USA!!!

We have 6 channels that the olypics are shown on, just noone really watches these channels.
