 Amy Van Dyken drives me batty.  

I want for her to do well, but she is annoying. Talks nonstop whether or not she has anything useful to say. Your suggestion is good: I'll turn off the sound during the replays after each swim where she does the technical commentary--or better yet, just fast forward through them. I did enjoy the time she said [the Cal coach] is obviously really happy with that last swim--cut to Cal coach looking dour.

I too was longing for more hard info: lowering of best times, etc.

I thought the whole broadcast was a mess, at least once not even showing the finishers' places and times, sometimes not identifying the swimmers and lanes at the start of a race. And don't try to pass off previous days' events as live.
