I watched some of it last night but I am going to record the 3hrs block.

I wish I would've known earlier, they're almost over.

Very nice, but what ever happened the Monster Truckfest we were supposed to see in November 2005?

This is good news. My wife is from Brazil, so we've been watching the games on TV Globo, but I was hoping for some English language coverage. I searched on the internet several times but couldn't find ANYTHING about U.S. coverage of the games. ESPN didn't even acknowledge the games anywhere on their site as far as I could tell. This should be a good diversion while waiting for the NFL season to start. Even better that its going to be in high definition.

I am a little surprised that the games were shot in hi-def though, since most of South and Central America still doesn't have an HD infrastructure in place, and a lot of countries have yet to settle on a transmission standard.

If you missed it, it will re-air on Tuesday, I believe.

Cool, I had asked about this about a month back before it was held, I didn't know it was tape delayed.

I tune it for a little while and they're showing baseball. Can somebody summarize what other events are they showing?

 

[Sean Mota]

I saw the Men Gymnastic competition. I haven't seen the baseball.

 

[Walter L.]

It's really bad that tey don't mention the events on the PG

 

[Sean Mota]

Every tuesday and thursday.... I have watched lots of men/women gymnastic. Quite interested and very competitive. I am really enjoying it without commercials.

 

[Sean Mota]

I just finished watching the men/women gymnastic. It was quite good. The commentators did a decent job and most of all no commercial interruptions and the side stories of NBC olympic coverage. I hate to bring this up but there were a couple of events that the brazilian fans should be shameful. These athletes, especially the gymnastics, do not deserve to be boo so that they can fall off the high bar or mess up in their routines. Wow, I was quite surprised by the brazilian fans who wanted their athletes to win that they will go into such extreme. Now I am on to swimming and then baseball...

Any word if WorldsportHD will pick up Euro Basket game this year, I noticed Mediapro is going games in HD.

I'll love that. But unfortunately, I think it is very unlikely since I know that NBATV has the rights for EuroLeague and, of course, they will only broadcast the SD feed

I really do not know what happened to that. They had the rights to the HD feed but it has not come back... Hoping...

Boxing started tonight!!

 

[Sean Mota]

I haven't caught up with this. But watched the gymnastic, swimming competition. It was great. I also watched the baseball competition where the Cubans showed their superiority vs all the other teams despite losing the first game. Boxing so far has been excellent and now they are showing track and field. This boxing is great 4 rounds of 2 minutes and basically very good.
