The free coverage (NBC and Peacock) is dreadful (and I don't have enough money to subscribe to all the other NBC channels that the coverage is distributed between). An obsession with a few sports and with winning. Only old fogies like me remember Olga Korbut in 1972, who while appearing for Russia practically launched US gymnastics! They need to cover other sports (e.g., field hockey and badminton, being two I used to play seriously) and then we'll discover our brilliant Simone Bileses in those sports. And Rich Eisen on Peacock is a travesty. Endless egotism,.snide comments and boasting about how he knows nothing about the sport being shown. Was he a last-minute recruit who didn't have time to educate himself, or is he always this insufferable? What a travesty!
