Flashes of Panic

It looks like everyone now agrees that the 10,000m final begins at 10:35 PM Athens local time, 3:35 PM EDT. I have heard rumors that NBC’s broadcast block will extend to 4:30 PM EDT, which would allow them to show the finish of the race; however, I can’t verify that rumor. No telling if they’ll show the last lap or not; if they sign off at 4:00 even a world-record time won’t be enough to make it on live TV.

When I was at RW we used to call the TV Schedule the “VCR Alert” because nobody ever broadcast running at a time when normal people could watch it live. A. is trying to tape this, but I plan to stay at work until I can see the results online; then I’ll start my ride home.
