Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis bitching about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.

Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.

Oh well shit no wonder you think it's boring. That wasn't the broadcast. That's like a recap highlight reel thing. That's choppy as hell. Yeah if that's what they actually showed I'd agree with you. When you watch the actual event the whole thing it's a lot better. That's not what I saw at all. Also the real announcers were way better. They were actually people who knew archery.
