NBC Pivots Olympics Coverage Following Vonn's Withdrawal

摘要

With the 2014 Winter Olympics ready to bow from Sochi, Russia, NBC will be without one of its biggest stars in gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn due to her knee injury. NBC Sports execs addressed Vonn's absence last week during a media event held at Saturday Night Live's Studio 8H. "We're disappointed for her," NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus told reporters. Lazarus said that NBC will alter its coverage and promotion leading up to the Games' somewhat, as Vonn figured to play a major part. "We wish we had Lindsey there, but we don't," he said.
