live on ctv in Canada.
It was live as planned on CTV at 4:50pm. Bolt was awesome! I think the US TV air it delayed to primetime to get top advert. dollar.
I watched it live here in Russia last night about 1 am. I feel so sorry for Asafa, looks he was hurt real bad, first stumbled on the start and then just stopped running... I guess jamaican tabloids are getting ready to eat him alive, especially after the story with Yendy...
They may not have had it live in the States, but it's constantly be replayed on the news this morning. Fantastic performance!

NBC finally aired it at around 11:30pm last night
It was worth the wait for sure
Would be nice to have a different title, like "Wow did you see the 100m final". This title was a bit of a spoiler IMO. The race wasn't shown in the US until late last night.
Sorry to spoil it for those usa tape delyed olympics, we are lucky in canada to have 3 live channels carrying different events live, congrats to the Jamacian team it blows me away how impressive they are against the rich countries and all the privlages they have for training and pampering. It proves why I prefer substance over style, Cheers! PS I started the thread after the semi-final, because Bolt was so impressive, we were betting what he would post in the final, and everyone at the bar picked in from 9.39 to 9.49, I believe if he wasn't protecting from false start DQ rule he could easily break 9.5

We watched live at Seastar was great place to be, happy hour chicken wings and the 100 meter final! My son has a video will try to post later.
Trip #59 most of February
Those clowns at NBC have turned me off on watching their network. A few favorite programs only from now on. (Quit their local station years ago for news, never watched Today because Katie Couric made me want to gag - lol.)
At 10:15 p.m. they announced the 100 meter race would be coming up next. It was all sorts of other track & field events instead. I literally fell asleep sitting up after waiting 3+ hours to see the race broadcast. At least I was able to catch it - race only - on the morning news. Still missed out on all the background & post race broadcast. Grrrrrrrrr....
