I am very interested to watch the BBC coverage of the Olympics to see how different it might be. I wonder if some of the commentators will feel the need to fill up quiet moments as some of the U.S. commentators do. The result is a "Best in Show" moment when someone like John Tesh is covering gymnastics on NBC.
I've got the BBC on this morning and the commentators have said that the swimming schedule was moved around because American television, which has a lot of pull with the Olympic committe, wanted Michael Phelps' race to be timed for primetime American television. I will be interested to know if that fact makes it to the U.S. coverage.
Watercooler conversation on Friday drifted to the 2012 Games in London. How will the London transport system handle the event? There are a lot of doubts that it can.
