Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis bitching about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.
Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.

Show, don’t tell. It’s a visual medium.
I’m referring to the camera work, not the competition.

Well, I disagree. Face, target. Face, target. Face, target. Check the link. That’s not dramatic IMO. Maybe it was just their YouTube videos but it left me wanting. Curling is 100x more dramatic than how they cut the archery footage together.
