Olympics by Internet
Cool Australia is currently number 2, no sign of New Zealand or Fiji yet.
I would like to have seen Greece get the first Gold... maybe they will get the last.
As long as I treat this like LoTRs and dispend my disbelief then I will enjoy this Olympics.

I ain't got a TV but the BBC is streaming a lot of Olympic coverage, for the first time.

Re: Olympics by Internet
Correctalthough technology is catching up on the internet.
Mind you I am in Taiwan, whose captial is Taipei and I live near Taichung.
Not only do they produce a lot of TVs here the Chinese character for Tai looks like a TV... The Tai character looks like a square box with antenna on top of it... so maybe I should get a TV.

My (unsolicited) advice: Don't do it, my friend. TV will only disappoint & infuriate you. :)Correct

Over here, the NBC network 'won' exclusive broadcast rights to the Olympics. They cover very few events - concentrating on winning Americans, and 'fluff' pieces about US athletes. The Mexican network Telemundo is showing most of the futbol matches, without preference. The broadest coverage is on the 'net.

Re: Olympics by Internet
The BBC have pretty damn good coverage, they try and cover a lot of sports but tend to cover the British athletes a bit too much :/
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

I haven't been watching our official coverage but on the news at least, they had interviews with the mothers of our 400m womens relay team....

Re: Olympics by Internet
Is it just me or is NBC absolutely obsessing over Michael Phelps? I mean the guy's a great swimmer and all but there's no reason for all of their coverage to revolve around his performance, IMHO..
PS: Did anyone stay up late last night (1:30 AM) to watch Jimmy Pedro win the Bronze in Judo against that Frenchman Fernandez? It was kind of strange, I didn't think there would be that much grip fighting in a masters match...
