agreeance. I really miss that.

And NBC truly, truly does suck.

- What really bugs me is that there aren't more "first down line -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:35 19
  - " type enhancements to the broadcast. Like, for example, in long track speed skating, they added the pace line of where the leader was.... - TFox Feb 17, 07:37 18
    - I did see that a couple of times in the downhill. I think they`re through the shot so fast that it`s tough to maintain. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:42 10
      - Yeah, it's not like swimming where there's one camera panning right-to-left and back again. There are probably dozens of cameras on a downhill run. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:49
      - I wish they'd put a camera on a zipline or something and follow them down the mountain, with a ghost skier representing the leader on camera. - TFox Feb 17, 07:46 8
        
        They showed a ghost race for the men's downhill (CTV) of the gold and silver dudes. It was pretty sweet to see how differently they took turns, etc. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:48 7
        
        oh, that's awesome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:50
        
        Yup, I love the ghost race. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 07:50
        
        They also did this for luge. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:50
        
        They've had that here too. They just don't have the ability to do it live. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:50 1
        
        Aye, it would take a lot and might even make the race too distracting. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:51
        
        Ah, I haven't seen that yet then, I guess. Hopefully it's on my Tivo. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:49 1
        
        That was on Monday at some point. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:50

      - Yeah, they did it in the swimming, but I wonder if that's more that they had line of sight laser locations - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:42 2
        
        They've been doing overhead shots for snowboarding. I imagine the sheer speed of the downhill races is a problem. - Ender Feb 17, 07:45
        
        That may be the problem. But you could put a tracker on the skiers themselves so friggin easily... -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:45
    - Why would they innovate? NBC has locked up rights for like 15 years+. Hell, they won rights well before anyone else was even thinking of bidding on - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:41 2

        Something absurd like that. You'd think given how much they spent; they'd listen when things are brought up repeatedly - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:44
- agreed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:34
