beijing is 12 hours ahead of us, so yes things were taped ahead of time. And I do remember seeing some of Phelps races on espn news before they were shown here

The hell you saw Phelps' races on ESPN News. NBC gives a very limited highlight package to ESPN. You saw results on ESPN News, not the race.

That's crazy. I saw some interesting graphics showing the 100m improvements. There was a long jump one though which was weird - decades of it not going anywhere then a little blip and then it flattened out again. Something funny about the jumping events - like it needs someone with such unique genetics that it takes a while for it to change - either that or it's not as popular as the running events so doesn't get the focus.
