NBC finally acknowledges you probably went to bed at a decent hour

Considering that the women's all-around competition ended just before 1 a.m. this morning (that's PDT, it was early afternoon in Beijing), and the medal ceremony and more Bela Karoyli pump fisting pushed it closer to 1:30 a.m., a release sent out by the network today reads:
BEIJING - Aug. 15, 2008 - The Women's Gymnastics all-around gold medal final that saw the USA's Nastia Liukin capture the gold medal and Shawn Johnson take the silver ran late into the night. The exciting competition will be recapped tonight in primetime, 8:00 p.m. ET/PT at the top of the show. The recap will run approximately 20 minutes long and will feature highlights of the gold and silver medal performances and Liukin and Johnson's interviews with NBC's Bob Costas and Bela Karolyi as they discussed their performances from last night and talk about their futures, including the possibilities of them competing in the Olympics in London in 2012.
And by the way:
If you want your kid to be just like Nastia Liukin, why not fork out now the $175 to get an official Liukin pink foldup mat (available at this link) with her official autograph on it.
Yes, that's her spread eagle on top of it.
There's even more to buy at her official website (linked here), where she's all dolled up in some photos...
