And that "Bell Social Scene" bs segment they had needs to fucking go. If I was a follower of that crap, I'd probably be watching Gilmore girl re-runs and not the Olympics. Am I the only one that thinks CTV's coverage of these Olympics took a nosedive from the 2010 games? | ||

Well, to me winter olympics is less important simply because the winter sports are so huge in a certain nabouring country so I can get coverage easily. I completely agree with the russian that the thing making the summer olympics that great is that we normally get 60 % soccer and the rest is shared between other sports (In Denmark it is mostly handball, road cycling, tennis, badminton and athletics). A few times we get news on rowing, sailing and swimming, but archery has no coverage at all even though Denmark is up and coming in female ranks. Same goes for shooting, track cycling, wresling and kayak where some danish athletes are doing very well too. Judo, fencing, diving, volleyball and basketball are lucky to get 1 news out of app. 6000 in a year. | ||

May watch some of it when it comes to Athletics but it doesnt really have the coverage compared to the able bodied version. | ||

The BSC's host helps with my eyes though.. and anyone knows why does the olympic happen only in a 4 years long segments? They should host the olympics every single year imo. | ||

The olympics are like soccer and the world cup. Everything we just saw for the last 2 weeks will get absolutely 0 attention here till it pops up again in 4 years. Oh well. | ||

So when you protested and 3 more judges scored the bout, how did that work out for you? Joshua kicked his arse it wasnt even close. | ||

Wouldn't be as special every year anyway. That is an excellent advert. | ||

On the other hand it would be funny to see these two weeks of incredible competition brought to a close by another bizarre dance pantomime thing. Just a reminder that, hey, this is still Britain. | ||
