And how were we doing less than a week in 4 years ago?

Here's the medal table from 2008. As you can see, 12 of our medals were in the track cycling; which only starts today, IIRC.

dialects seem dying bread today.

thanks danielf great to see sadly 4 some reason got bad start failed.

commenteray on rowing still poor sound issues.

cycling mo seems better only archery dont have issues that watched.

why 24 channels having broadcast issues are the cuts timed

my mum hates the big rings logo/londo logo which gets shoved on screen in frequent when the cut to new camera.

too be fair we had much better coverage in bejing needs sorting for sure. OBS done shocking this year hope olimpic board learn to improve things.

it is issue though try find results actually hard to find

you watch rowing the commentators keep disappearing like ferret.

we cant say the broadcasting perfect when it is not.

cant surely be on my own seeing the problems.
