So do i and i know how you feel. Handball gets a total of 20 hours coverage in Australia for the whole thing while Wrestling and Judo get 0, it pisses me off.

That's BS. Who cares about handball? Honestly wrestling and judo are so much more interesting then freaken handball. I wouldn't even care if it was on at like 1 or 2 in the morning as long as it got some coverage and I was afforded the opportunity to watch it. The coverage for the olympics used to be so much better then it was before.

Exactly, Judo and Wrestling here doesn't even get half an hour coverage at 2am.

Same here. I checked my local listing and it didnt say Judo or wrestling were going to be televised at all. They are showing a little boxing but its mostly soccer, volleyball, and gymnastics. I don't mind the soccer and gymnastics but i'd rather watch wrestling.

The 100m relay race was just AMAZING!!

Woot! Maria Pekli's fight just came on TV so so far....2 minutes of Judo! Ah well at least it is some and i saw an Aussie win. She now goes onto a match where if she wins she will fight for Gold if not then Bronze.

I watched the women's Judo live on the net. Can you not do that down in Aussieland?

Yeah but used all my downloads on.....er..Judo...videos...

They showed 3 of Maria Pekli's bouts and that's all.

on a serious note, Bad luck for Maria Pekli i am truly sad for her. She was very unlucky not to get a medal. Her husband fights in a few days as well and it was a very good effort to even be there as she has to care for her child who has a rare disease and has to be tube feed and lots of things. I was hoping for her to medal then anyone else combined at the Olympics. it would be been awesome to medal at her final Olympics.
