BBC Coverage Very Disappointing
Jobs for the boys innit?
The bloke at the Archery Semi Final had it finished when there was one leg still to go, during the cycling they couldn't tell who was who-yet the Chinese TV captions were there and accurate, didn't they refer to their monitors?
We come 2nd in a rowing qualifier and they're there and interviewing them straight away, yet the lass cycling is ignored, and its not as if there was no access, as other TV crews were in there.
Seems its OK for us to even compete in the "posh" sports-rowing and yachting, equestrian-but if we have some lass who grits her teeth and wins gold in the rain, we are taken by surprise.
