(Archery)

Let's do this!


USA and France 2-2

Over the years they have invested our tax payers money wisely into the Iplayer and streaming services. It's heads and shoulders above anything else.

I read this article a while back about how BBC have been trying to bring the Iplayer over to the US on a pay per model. However, US cable suppliers have threatened to drop BBC America if they do as they see the BBC's technology as a big threat.

TV streaming through the internet will eventually become the future. These cable providers are just trying their hardest to prevent their inevitable demise.

Fuu..I'm still stuck working; I'll miss the first Archery matches. GRRR

 

[Adamm]

KBB is on after this one?

Yes

 

[ag-my001]

KBB is on after this one?

According to the schedule, yes.

 

[Kikujiro]

Is this the French girl who beat Glasses?

 

[Vibri]

Yas, time to reconvene for archery!

... with a smile.

Love Kanie, she's adorable. And a fantastic archer!

I feel your pain, I've resorted to watching on my phone

Azarenka v Kerber was a great match, some incredible rallies. So much better than the murray match. Kerber saved two match points at 5-4 with dead netcords but Vika broke at 6-5 to win it.

Looks like a repeat of the wimbledon semi final against Serena unless Woz pulls out a miracle today

 

[ag-my001]

Dang Schuh, where were these shots in your last match against Glasses?

 

[Brazil]

Goddamn. The girl from Hungary actually won the Repechage match with her injury.

 

[nny]

I feel your pain, I've resorted to watching on my phone

I just hope this match takes a looong time to end.

and in shocking news, it's an all Chinese final is Badminton's Mixed Doubles.

and all is right with the world

Kerber needs a better serve - then she would be a Top5 player. Especially her second serve is target practice for better opponents.

Lorig (USA) moves on to the Quarterfinals!

 

[BobTheBub]

To be fair we do have to pay for the bloody thing, I wish they stop give it to Eastenders its the same thing every year and getting worst

I was surprised to learn recently that TV Licenses are pretty standard across europe and the UK's is not particularly expensive compared to many.

[ezrarh]

Yay Loreg!

 

[Kobalty]

You mean quarter finals?

Say's semi-finals on my TV but its obviously wrong guess the BBC cant get everything right

 

[nny]

After the previous round I was expecting more from Schuh.

If it continues to bring in the viewing figures, there's no reason to stop it. Even despite how crap it may be.

 

[giga]

Huh, us won a gold in women's rowing.

 

[Adamm]

Ki bo bae time!

 

[Majine]

Ah, goddess time.

 

[ag-my001]

Was looking away, was there a score revision in the 4th set?

Edit: Guess so, now reads 25-24.

 

[ghostmind]

KBB time!

 

[fuenf]

GO KBB!

 

[Shadow780]

KBB vs KGB

 

[ag-my001]

Going into seclusion for this one to not get spoiled due to NBC stream delay, see you all after the match.

 

[Brinbe]

Some good stuff going on between Judo/Fencing/Archery

dem tens

 

[Jake.]

time for kbb to crush the soviets.

 

[Jensen]

Eastenders is exactly the type of show BBC One should have, 8m+ audiences spread across different demographics.

The BBC Olympic coverage is great but it was always expected to be given the time the BBC have had to prepare for it and the cost.

 

[Adamm]

Kbb recovered well after that first 7

 

[Nomad Blue]

Sailing tends to have some really cool technology following it

Spoiler

mostly because it's funded by a bunch of rich guys.

I can't find the sailing at all on NZ TV though... Fucking Sky.

It was on for a few hours earlier(been at least a few hrs of it every night), when the rowing was on. They've not shown anywhere near as much as I thought they would though, but maybe they're just waiting until the last couple of days before bombarding us with it.

 

[Nolan.]

Man, if I was Wozniacki I would fake an injury or something so it looks less embarrassing

 

[fuenf]

nice KBB activated her aimbot

 

[nny]

Kbb recovered well after that first 7

...and the streak of 10s continue; fearless!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Gets on my tits when people complain about the license fee. The Olympics coverage alone is worth it.

As well as the BBC's factual documentaries. They really are second to none.

Sir Attenborough's series are the benchmark of course.

 

[Jake.]

how old is kbb?

 

[Peru]

KBB nailing it now. Both shooting well.

Hell yeah, Sound of the Underground on the sound system.

 

[ghostmind]

KBB 10-9-10, but the Russian not backing down!

 

[Adamm]

how old is kbb?

24

 

[Jake.]

when are the finals for womens archery? prob will miss it due to timezone differences and/or work.

 

[aznpxdd]

Oh my KBB raining 10's

 

[mclem]

Why's there a timer on the Judo for 'Golden Score'? Surely the match goes on until someone gets a point, what happens if the time expires?

Edit: Well, that answers my question!

 

[ghostmind]

Wind is very erratic for Archery right now.

 

[BadWolf]

The Russian is a tough cookie as well, great stuff.

 

[Nolan.]

Serena is just too good

 

[Brazil]

The judges decide the winner with the flags.

 

[John Dunbar]

5-3, awesome

 

[ghostmind]

KBB up 5-3
