For one who doesn't like swimming much, it has been disapointing to be lambasted by swimming action. They should change it to the swimmingwealth games instead. Are there any other sports taking place? Best ask Eddie. And what is with the bloody add breaks every three minutes. ********ed.
 
Agree. It seems Swimming and cycling are the only 2 sports around. There are other events Channel 9. But then again, look how biased thier coverage is with Stevenson and the other commentators basically declaring Australia unbeatable in most events. And don't get me started on Ray Warren.

But on the plus side, I do like the excitement of Darrly Eastlake at the weightlifting!!!!!!!!!!

You'll have to be at Telstra Dome on Saturday the 1st of April to see some world class, Olympic level diving.

These Commonwealth guys cant hold a candle to the performance you'll see at the Dome that evening.

HAHA.. without even looking at a fixture.. im seeing black.. and red.. so much black and red! Am i right or am I right?! :D
 
personally i would love to see more basketball and netball...who cares about all the swimming heats i mean they could just show the finals and then swap to other sports
 
Thank you channel 9 for explaining in detail what emotion is.

Incredible, amazing, fantastic are the words when you win.

Devastating for the loss.

I mean, der,
can't these melon heads keep their fat traps shut when a race is won or lost,
sometimes the scene can speak for itself without high pitched yelping about how happy he or she is, i can see it in front of me.

And of course the "and what about the effort of the Botswanan to finish" condescending commiseration.

I get it, Australia is really good at sports.
 
Swimming and cycling are about the only two sports I'm interested in so I'm not complaining from that perspective. However I do get tired of the excessive patriotism shown by the commentators, especially Ray Warren. When the saffers beat the Aussies in the 4x100 freestly relay all Warren said was, "I bet if Thorpey was swimming the result would have been different". He wasn't so get over it.

Oh, and how many times do we have to listen to the national anthem?:(
 
At about 10;00 last night they had the weightlifting on TV and you would think it would be really boring but in fact it was the most exciting thing I had seen on the games. You could feel the tension in the air it was great. I hope they will put more of it on.

Lol. I am finding the Lawn Bowls to be more interesting than the swimming. I guess I go on the theory without a ball it aint sport.

I personally think that channel 9s coverage has been great - compared to the utter shambles that channel 7 served up for the winter games. I may be a swimming and athletics fan but when i have viewed they have crossed to a wide range of sports so it hasnt been restricted to the two.

Now that the 9 network has lost the footy, maybe they can hit back at channel moron (aka 7) and get the olympics rights.
 
The one thing I hate is 9's bias- yes, we are good but there are other countries.

Two examples: constant use by commentators (swimming mainly) saying "Our" when referring to athletes.

Another example: a heat that did not feature Aussies........we saw the second half of the race while they had commercials. They Ray Warren said "don't worry, you did not missed anything as there are no Aussies in this race".

Agree with Ray- you would think 1 country is competing.

Warren basically said that and admitted it on air- he seemed quite happy to excuse it because no Australians were in it. If 9 are trying to hide thier bias, they are doing a poor job at it

wouldnt worry, track and field is coming up which means jack all medals for australia.

True but there will be Jana, so there has to be hours of her (previews, analysis, race, interviews etc)
 
Swimming and Cycling are the best sports, they are also the main sports being played at Prime time which is obviously what you are all whingeing about, now the cycling is over we will be bored with the Athletics

Fact is a full game of basketball takes up too much time to commit to when there is so much on

You want to watch the crap sports then you should have got Fox and their games coverage

I didnt as I knew the ones I want are on 9
