*Taped coverage

Less than a week ago, it was reported that USA Swimming has a goal of an average of 5 million TV viewers each night of Trials, almost twice the average from 2020(1) Trials. This will be the first time that the event is staged in a football field as Lucas Oil is home to the Indianapolis Colts.

Despite moving Trials to a larger stadium, ticket sales still continue to lag. Single-session tickets became available in early-March and are as low as $15 for a prelims session.

Commentators should comment on the race, not joking and conversing in the background. I turn the sound off. They have nothing of value to add

They should also report what they see in front of their eyes rather than focusing on their favorite swimmers who don’t even win the race

Why races being edited, like Ledecky 1500?

Because they don’t think that Americans have the attention span to sit through 15 minutes of swimming.

it’s only been 3 years instead of 4, honestly I’m kinda surprised how little the pandemic is acknowledged given how the disruption is still echoing through our daily lives, it’s almost like a collective trauma response that we don’t want to give it any attention though we all know it’s there.

I just realized that I, a Canadian, serendipitously planned a family trip to NYC during the first part of Trials. I know what I’m making everyone watch in the hotel room each evening!

Got this right– you are going to NYC and spending each nite watching swimming and missing Broadway muslcals, plays and other entertainment? Each to their own. have a good time.

It looks difficult. If your CC or paypal is a European account, Peacock will not accept it. There may be a work round if you have an apple device via itunes that you might want to try out.
