The BBC coverage is woeful.

Why are there only two feeds online? you can watch Rowing or Judo, but then swimming is now on and i'm sure multiple other sports taking place.

Why can they not have more streaming options online?

(I am now using Eurosport to watch swimming)

Not fully 100% sure on this but I had a similar complaint yesterday so I looked it up. Seems the broadcasting regulations have changed the BBC now don't have full control over what they can and can't show. Think it's related to the tweets below. Seems Discovery+ own the rights now.

100% we will get a ban, USA is the boss.

Alternatively, you could try not invading Taiwan? Just a thought.

sounds the best job to be fair.

How the fuck did British rowing manage to piss off Jurgen Grobler? The best coach I reckon in British Olympic history, we fucked him off before the last olympics seemingly not a single gold?

I watched a couple of heats yesterday, I think we look nailed on for a minimum of couple of golds in the rowing.

It's really pissing me off. It keeps switching between sports rather than follow a whole session. I want to watch the whole swimming sessions live, not just dropping in for a Brit then switching to someone windsurfing. They don't have the rights clearly, so it's all over the place which is disappointing.

We'd better not talk about taiwan war in this Olympic thread...

He has got athletics on the 3rd August, a much better set of events.

• 19:10 - Decathalon Javelin Group A (Men)
• 19:15 - 1500m Reperchage (Men)
• 19:35 - Shot Put Final (Men)
• 19:50 - 100m Semi Final (Women)
• 20:10 - Decathalon Javelin Group B (Men)
• 20:20 - Triple Jump Final (Women)
• 20:55 - 4 x 400m Relay Final (Mixed)
• 21:20 - 100m Final (Women)
• 21:45 - Decathlon 1500m (Men)

A great night of athletics with 6 Gold medals at stake including one of the Blue Riband events in the 100m Women's final.

My sister and her family are going over for a few days of the Athletics, they have tickets for the women's 800m final, they will hopefully be cheering Keely for Gold, and Phoebe and Jemma onto the podium.

Got none in Tokyo so hopefully we do

My current pet hate is the star build up to a particular event - take Peaty as an example (not his fault btw). They do a piece on the back story which I’m sure most know anyway. Just show the live sport and then dissect it when it’s all done ffs!
