Here's what we are forced to watch: Swimming, Women's gymnastics, men's gymnastics, track, women's gymnastics, beach volleyball, women's gymnastics, swimming, track, interview with girl gymnast, swimming.

I gather that your coverage is mostly: Rowing, cycling, track, cycling, horse dancing, track, cycling, horse jumping, track, cycling, sailing

In China they are watching: table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, table tennis, judo, badminton,

Very bizarre.

France: Fencing, fencing, fencing, fencing,

Thankfully with BBC HD 24 channel coverage via Sky, you can watch what you want to watch and for as long as you want to watch it. Well until the event has finished for the day that is.

and the insistence of NBC to NOT show events live. so we know BOlt won the 100m 5 hours before they allowed us to view it. Basically, NBC has ruined the Olympics ... yet again!

YOu can almost understand if it was a weekday w/ people working and all. Even then I say show it LIVE and then rebroadcast. But to not show it LIVE on sunday at a time in Autumn when it would be the start of the second quarter of the late NFL games is simply treating your viewers like ignorant scum.

The 200m final will be even more lucrative for them

We do have two full-time channels and each sport is available on red button / cable/sat tbf, but the main channel coverage is loaded up with parochial chat and interviews, though they do show all the track races. Best thing is no adverts of course. wd the socialist license fee http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/wink.gif
