Does NBC not air these other events you guys are watching?

I know they delay some stuff, but I don't think I've seen a few yet.

They don't air equestrian, archery, and weightlifting because that's what people most complain about so they isolate it to the live stream

Popular sports that aren't LIVE Rio time via Primetime are delayed till the Primetime broadcast on purpose.

Except full on sports like Basketball and Soccer they don't dare interfere with those or else a lot of people will lose their shit
 
Some can only be seen on their website I think

you need online streaming to see anything but the absolute biggest events

Thought so. Thanks.

Don't really like streaming though.

I wish we had a dedicated Olympics channel that showed everything

That's not quite true as all three of those sports are broadcast but normally 2 hrs behind and sometimes you have to search through nbc channels.
 
While he's not been spoken of in any top-level medal hope context, I like that we (GBR) seem to have a pretty good table tennis player now.
 
North Korea with silver in men's weightlifting, China with gold. World record for total lifted.

Gymnastics and Slalom have been tape delayed. Ridiculous knowing its the weekend so you'll have the audience full attention throughout the day but NBC sticks to their data chart summary and does the safe route for them which makes everything angry at them
 
I don't understand how someone from North Korea is in the weight lifting competition, how does he bulk?

Edit: no mirotic is not Spanish but he's naturalized and they're using him instead of Ibaka this year
