If you have Stan, just pop on one of the big ones. Like "Athletics day 8" or one of the main Olympics shows, and it'll just show you what is on the stadium. I watched the Athletics Day 8 one last night, to see all the 100m heats. It was really great, because it meant I actually knew a little bit about all the runners in the 100m final and had seen them all run before.
Note on that Jamaican kid who came second by 0.005 seconds: This event was his international debut, and he ran 9.77 in June. He's one to really watch. No idea why that US dude was so cocky when he learned he'd won after waiting 30 secs on that photo finish. It was hardly a resounding victory.
No but I have been watching the overviews on the 9 app Mainly landed on athletics today. The high jump final was pretty awesome..looking forward to the Sport climbing tonight
