A lot of the time though, Auntie isn't even showing a live event on BBC One. So they have two streams, but only one (and sometimes none) of them are showing live sport. We missed a lot of the Athletics because they were showing BMX on Red Button (understandably because GB were about to win two medals) and... boxing highlights on BBC One.

I think with Athletics it was decided to catch up on them a bit later as that is a bit quicker.

Yeah, i had my doubts about Eurosport Player, but it turned out it is excellent. If you take out that first day, which had no commentary of course. 

Spot on. Although Eurosport's TV coverage (from what I can tell) has been a bit lacking.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

My only gripe with ES player is that when they have multiple streams from the same event (athletics, gymnastics), they dont bother naming them, it is just called "Gymnastics - women- day X". What it would cost to put there "Gymnastics - women all-around - vault" for example? Same with athletics. It takes a lot of time to find the stream I am looking for.

Plus: I too find ESP of good value. My yearly plan renewed in June or July this year (last year I got 4 or 5 months free due to the coronavirus pandemic when there was nothing to broadcast live for several months), so it will be valid in time for Beijing. Therefore I get two Olympic Games worth of content out of one year's subscription. Not bad for € 24.99 :lol:

I suggest you to instal the french version. They have every single stream of every match of every sport named, nothing more easy to find the video you search

Good idea, thanks! Tried out and the same with Spanish. I will use it this way then.

I'm a bit upset about M4Sport's coverage, because they only show and talk about Hungarians. I care less about the 42nd Hungarian than a Simone Biles or a Novak Djokovic. I want to see the winners. 

I write here because I wonder if the same thing happens in other countries.

The poor worldwide ratings for the Games will make getting bidders for 2036 and onwards even harder - it will have a long term impact on the games. 

Need to see the numbers from an Olympics not tainted by a pandemic.  Only so much we can figure from the numbers here

I’m not sure the pandemic can be blamed as the sport has been excellent and the lack of crowd not that noticeable.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
