What is really annoying me about these games is that the BBC has so many channels on this, and yet there MAIN channel has - the games as well, what about the people who don't to watch the games.

An excellent Bronze for the mens gymnastics team - GB's first gymnastics team medal since 1912 FGS!

Men's hockey team currently beating the Argies 2-0 too!

Brilliant result for the Gymnasts, but that Lithuanian girl from Plymouth really stole the day

Dubious, to say the least.

Quote:
It was not even supposed to be her strongest event: it is over 200m that she is world champion. What made her swim even more remarkable is that her final split time, of 28.93, was 0.17 quicker than that of Ryan Lochte in the men’s 400m medley earlier that evening.

BBC2, BBC4 or any of the other 100s of channels that the TVL allows you to watch live. Or VM's massive On Demand library.

In fact, overall, there are more channels not showing the Olympics than those that are.
