Unless it's a team game like soccer or basketball, I actually prefer their little "packaged" bits they run in primetime. They usually do a good job of showing sports/athletes that are relevant to the US, and they also provide helpful backstory and commentary as to WHY it's relevant to the US.
So for MOST of the events like swimming, gymnastics, sprint/hurdle races, decathlon, etc. I actually prefer the primetime packaged viewing over live viewing at odd hours throughout the day.
But again, that's definitely not true for the team sports.
