How they manage that? steups.

NBC's overriding policy is that all the big ticket events should be shown in primetime.  once you accept that, everything is easy to figure out.

they even influence the organizers of the swimming to change the format (traditionally the finals would be at night, they have finals in the morning in China) so the finals could be live in primetime in the US.

they not trying to spite anybody, they just trying to maximize the number of eyeballs they could sell advertisers.

he just set another PR in his race, but unfortunately will not be moving on. However at only 21 he has lots of time on his hand. Come back strong for London.

[100% Barataria]

He has every reason to be proud, well done Thomas, keep progressing
