After the Women's 100m final, they used a directional mike on the mother of an American athlete so we could hear what she was saying to her friend about her daughter's failure to win a medal. She didn't know we were watching her and she didn't know we were listening to her conversation. The police wouldn't be able to do this without a court order, but it seems it's just fine if you're NBC (and in China)
By the way, have a look at these different medals tables:
BBC Medal table:
G S B T
China 46 15 22 83
China 46 15 22 83
USA 29 34 32 95
Great Britain 17 12 11 40
Russia 16 16 19 51
NBC Medal table:
G S B T
USA 29 34 32 95
USA 29 34 32 95
China 46 15 22 83
Russia 16 16 19 51
Great Britain 17 12 11 40
I love the way NBC consider a bronze medal to be of equal worth to a gold. I wonder if it is a coincidence that this eccentric approach puts USA on the top?
