The CBC has to show non Canadian competitors competing for medals, otherwise they would have very little content to air. If you look at how the CBC broadcast past olympics you would see that the more successful Canadian athletes are the less CBC focuses on non Canadian athletes. Perhaps if the U.S. won few medals, they would show more finals without U.S competitors. As it is they tend to be very successful, so NBC has alot of American content to choose from.
Although I mostly watch the CBC for the olympics, I believe NBC does show non U.S. content in the non prime time hours and on its cable channels; While the prime time hours tend to be just highligts of the day focusing on American athletes.
