perhaps its all designed by the ioc to be this way, but i cant get any televised coverage of the olympics in english here. i can get it on yle / eurosport / urheilukanava in finnish (with yle and eurosport being in swedish aswell if i press a special button) plus swedish station svt in swedish. then there is random coverage on a german lanugage station and a tiny bit (i think) on bbc world. but no actual english language coverage. im not feeling any desire to sit myself down for ten hours and watch it all happen, no need to hear the news or care about the medal table. hopefully it will change over the next day or two. i can download the bbc version of the opening ceromony on bit torrent, but its 2gb altogether and not really worth it.
the only english-language coverage of anything 'olympic' related today was the bbc panorama programme this evening in which it talked for an hour about the corruption in the ioc application processes. that filled my olympic spirit :)
