They're host broadcasters aren't they? So they shoot everything and can make it available to us. If they're beaming everything globally to other broadcasters then whoever is doing the winter Olympics could do the same, but who knows?
You don't understand.
In the final of the four skulls thing the other night, all they were talking about is how because we were in lane 6, we'd be protected from the wind and as long as we were close with 500m left, we'd win. We were leading and completely faded to get beaten by the Saffers.
Then in this race, they talk like it's possible to make up half a boat length in 50m.

we need more FPS games
What kind of Irishman are you.
When chasing them damn steeples, they lay booby traps of holy water jumps. Everyone knows that.

Ennis basically needs to stay within 15 meters of Chernova in the javelin and she'll have the lead going into the 800m.
Another silver for Australia - we're officially changing our national colours from green and gold to green and silver.
Not to mention the fact that they can't determine who's in front unless they're looking at the 500, 1000 or 1500 mark totally side on. They don't seem to realise what those lines of buoys are for.

Wtf? Was on 552 (bbc Olympic rowing channel) and it wasn't showing rowing, just the schedule - and the schedule didn't even say rowing was on today. Switch to bbc 1 just in case and I've missed the damn race. Boo BBC
They should out a little flash up in the corner of the screen on all Olympic channels when finals are coming up, so people can switch over,

I think the commentary mentioned someone sliped in the water earlier, so he is looking for a good photo

I doubt they'd invest this much into the infrastructure and then not use it again.
Everyone is missing in Pole Jump, they all look drunk
Olympic Village nightlife taking its toll.
We're up to third now!
3rd is pretty much the best anyone can hope for since there's no way anyone is going to beat China or USA.

its stupid that i have comcast cable and even i want to use the bbc site.
She didn't do too well in the Long Jump, well not what was expected. Sitting in 18th overall at the moment. If she can finish as high, it will be great considering her age

Hopefully GB's cyclers and rowers can share next time.

They use dark magic for cycling but rowing is straight-up hard work. If they had the same approach for swimming as they do for cycling then we'd clean up in the next Olympics.
i just HATE how Track & Field competitions are broadcasted. Field events completely take the backseat for track events and its plain dumb. I want to watch the field events live and not have them showing me a taped attempted from minutes ago. Almost everything field related is shown in delay.
I don't want to watch a boring 10 minute run. Why are the focusing on the ENTIRE run EXCLUSIVELY. There are 2-3 field events going on and i want to see them LIVE. Why do i need to see runners being introduced when there's action going on in the field?
Every single Athletics competition is like that and i've never seen a good explanation to that. Cut the attention given to Track events or join up with the times and have two broadcasting teams - for track and field - and let the audience CHOOSE what to watch.

Fuck it, my parents are English and I lived there for four years, so I'm claiming citizenship, at least for next eight days.
Come on the Poms - another gold in the rowing coming up!

Let's try not to fixate on the medal table, as that is too disturbingly American for my liking.
We're up to third now!
To be fair thats the most important thing for every tax payer that is paying for this lol
You can if you have cable and stream online with nbc.
