The choices Eurosport makes is getting worse and worse. Maybe it's different in other countries, but here they have Weightlifting Group B on Eurosport 1. Literally everything is more interesting than the group B of a weightlifting competition.

Same in UK! Although we have Eurosport 5 that's broadcasting Softball with audio/commentary from that weightlifting competition too :lol:

Eurosport was nowhere near as bad at picking events pre-Discovery. They really are sabotaging the broadcast to get more Discovery+ subscribers. 

 

I have said this before, but it has become a recent pattern in their tennis GS coverage. Some really questionable matches were shown on TV, while the more interesting/marquee ones were left for the Player. 

 

Also, i think the Olympic schedule hasn't been the best in Tokyo. In 2-3 hours you will get 3-4 finals at the same time cross-matching each other.. With 2 weightlifting finals today, they could have had one of them now, when it could have been shown and not bunched with other finals. It's not that early Japan time..

I really like this ESPlayer. Being able to watch any event I want is the most important. Then the lack of commentators is not really a problem for me. Most of them are talking stupid things all the time anyway . Watching live sport with ambient sound is the best way to do it for me.

I have a theory as to why the TV coverage of the shooting in particular has been so awful this Olympics. Copied from a UK website to which I belong.

 

Exactly: it was extremely badly presented here. The English guy on the commentary is the one who does the regular ISSF broadcasts & he was complaining about it.

I’m wondering if this & other broadcasting problems are a product of COVID. Usually Olympics TV production for specialised sports is outsourced to TV producers who cover the same sports week in week out. But if they are not able to travel, it will just be done by Japanese TV crews who don’t necessarily understand what camera placements, on-screen graphics, replays etc etc are needed for that particular event.

it might well be...

 

in any case, it's the worst shooting range I've ever seen, the worst tv coverage I've ever watched and the worst Italian performance since Seoul 1988...

 

definitely not the best memories I'm gonna save for these Olympics...

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
