I am not sure if I have seen that delayed commentary (which I absolutely
hate; NBC used to do that a lot when they first got the Olympics), but it
does seem like they are still doing some of having live announcers doing
commentary remotely, I suppose from the US to video feeds (at least that is
what it seemed like for the shooting). I don't like that very much either.

Beadle did do that thing that I also hate when the anchor knows the result
of the coverage they are about to throw to - basically spoiling what would
have been a more interesting storyline to the Men's Swimming Medley (I
think that is what they call it). I really don't understand that. She is
anchoring a show at 3:00 in the morning (or whatever it was), she is
introducing the first event with the most visible American athlete at the
games. I don't think she needs to pimp it any more, as if someone stayed up
all night watching handball and air rifle, and then at the last minute says
"well, I think I won't watch the next 8 minutes with Michael Phelps, I'll
just go to bed now".
