It goes to show the level of idiocy at work on this project.
They have HOW many years of footage of well-shot Olympias? And couldn't be bothered to check those out for a point of reference...or consult a bodybuilding photographer of note...or go over shooting and blocking ideas with AMI people PRIOR to the event?
Or maybe AMI are the idiots for trusting the mainstream to know what in the hell to do with bodybuilding or how to present it in the first place.
Pretty much everyone involved in the decision-making behind this project, from start to finish, have proven themselves as sharp as a ball-peen hammer.

If this is the reason why it didn't air I can understand why. I went to Vegas and was at the Olympia in person and if what they were showing on the overhead monitors was what NBCSN was recording than it would have been terrible. They were doing close-ups during comparisons and focusing on the wrong body parts during posing routines (zooming in on the lower legs during front double bis). From where I was sitting in the nosebleeds I had to rely on these monitors to clearly see the competitors on stage an I remember myself and others in the audience were getting pretty upset that they were zoomed in on random body parts the entire time. There were some very nice shots from the camera on the crane that swept around the stage but that was about it. I'm very surprised there hasn't been a statement released regarding the Olympia not being aired and it seems to be fading away in the forums as well. Its a shame because it would have been a real positive for bodybuilding to get back on TV.
