In this day and age the BBC can only show 2 sports at a time. And one of them is fucking golf.

Only the BBC - who use wimbledon as it's tennis showcase, can leave an olympic final between the two top tennis players in the world after the first set.

What not use BBC 3 and 4 or stream on an other channel on the iplayer?

Glad i got discovery just for the Olympics. This match is incredible

For those complaining about BBC it’s because they are not rights holders. They are restricted to how much live coverage they can show at any one time. People would have been up in arms if BBC had paid the going rate , which was 1.5 billion.
