Swimming World Magazine: "NBC Morning Finals Decision Damages Olympic Games; IOC Breaks Its Code of Ethics... anti-American fallout continues to build and simmer across Europe and beyond."
Cry babies! Where is this stone tablet or burning bush that decries that an athlete can only race in the afternoon or later? I will summise this debate into a single sentence: NBC wants drama, the athletes and coaches want records.
This hyperbolic Swimming World article, or actually a de facto rant, tries to sell that the Olympic Games will produce no great performances or world records if finals are held in the morning. Nonsense, I say but Phelps said it best last July at Nationals: "If you make the Olympic team and you can't come and be ready to swim in the morning, if you can't get excited to do that, give your spot to someone else."
