...showing events over many hours ago starting at 8pm to midnight, saving the best for last.
I don't stay up that late.
Why not start at 7 and have the best at 10?
And so American-centric.
Lot of boring events like synchronized swimming.

Many more events, channels in the NBC family like NBCSN, CNBC, MSNBC. Less commercials and more events live. The NBC network coverage at night does suck but its not as bad during the day when airing events in real time. There were surprisingly few commercials during the men's basketball today. Way less than an NBA or college game in the US.

There are more commercials then ever now on TV. I believe they're now up to 22 minutes of commercials per hour.
That's incredible. And, the cram even more for events such as football.
Nobody seems to notice. No one seems to care. Hardly anyone's voiced any complaints. Thus, free, over the air TV and cable TV are crammed with commercials - and they seem to increase them every few years or so.
I have no doubt that within a year or two, the ratio will be 30 minutes of commercials for every hour. From there, it'll probably go to even 40 minutes. Eventually, their all consuming greed may lead them to an inversion: 12 minutes of programming/48 minutes of commercials - the exact opposite of television programming back when it started.
I'll bet that nobody's going to complain.

The first three nights of NBC coverage were swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, gymnastics, swimming, swimming and more swimming.
I'd really like to see more events.
Maybe NBC should just show finals and skip all of the trials ?

They absolutely should. Nobody cares about the first of twenty heats of the 100 meter dash. I sure don't - and I'm a runner.
If they skipped the prelims, they could show more different events.
