Your favorite OL sport

[Hauldren Collider]

I enjoyed the Canada/Russia match. Don't ask me who won.

I think the winner was male spectators everywhere

Dressage is my favorite because while watching it I can't help but imagine what Colbert will say/do if Romney's horse takes the gold. (And I'm stuck imagining since I can't watch it here )

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Handball is fun. Water polo is good too, though it's not so much a sport as a series of attempted drownings occasionally interrupted by a ball flying around.

The worst by far is Sabre fencing. It's a nanosecond of blurred movement followed by loads of bickering as they try to work out what the hell just happened.

Hows the NBC coverage holding up?

On the BBC website you can catch up on any event that has been so far filmed, including jumping straight to any match within that particular competition.

For example, I can load the schedule for rowing yesterday and click on the afternoon schedule. I can watch the entire 4 hours from the start or click on any of the 23 individually named heats at the bottom of the screen to jump straight to that heat

NBC has its coverage spread between it's broadcast network and at least three cable channels, plus online streaming.

I have it on good authority that Australia's coverage utterly sucks, especially it you don't have pay tv.

Black Cat likes the Woz?

Tennis, the track events (used to run middle distance - 400, 800, mile) and yes, horse jumping. Aeson - you ever ride a horse before?

I wouldnt know about Aussie coverage, but here in NZ the fifth terrestrial channel , 'Prime' , is pretty much devoted to Olympic coverage. I saw an advert, 2 days after the Olympics started, for isky nz streaming the games. Ive only just registered, and dont especially feel the need to use it as I have found a way to use the BBC site despite being an Expat

Heres a couple of screen grabs showing what we get

This first one shows the schedule of everything that has been filmed so far, literally hundreds of hours of programs



And heres a game I chose at random Note the tabs down the bottom of the video for picking individual matchs within that broadcast



So I contend that the BBC has the best coverage of the games, ever. Prove me wrong!

[Al B. Sure!]

I'm going to go with hurdling just because of my girl Lolo

Definitely not badminton.

[Uncle Sparky]

Definitely not badminton.

Canada is in the medal round because of Badmintongate. (...that and taking out Australia)

[SlowwHand]

I had no idea that those birdies traveled at 200 mph, usually.

Aeson - you ever ride a horse before?

Yes.

[Al B. Sure!]

Oh, forgot to mention that denmark got a silver medal in skeet shooting - not bad for a country where guns aren't allowed

Comcast is pretty good. They are using 6 or 7 channels for coverage. Live coverage during most of the day.
