Thankyou to the channel 7 commentator speaking on Australia's behalf, who said to Michael Phelps after his 100m butterfly semi today 'goodluck, and all of Australia is behind you'.

All good and well, it is an amazing feat, but seriously - what about the Australian swimmer Andrew Lauterstein who made the same final. Can we interview him?

<<Surely there was SOME competitions going on!>>

I think you'll find that there wasn't. General Stokes had all other competitions suspended or cancelled so as to not interfere with the replays and commercials. The rest of the competitions that were suspended will be resumed sometime in 2009.

yeah i never see them fast forward the 800m swimming races, and those go on for much longer than the running.

They don't have that luxury. SBS is only covering a handful of sports. Seven has to cover the whole lot. An event featuring non Australians is always going to get limited time.

Re:worst coverage ever of any olympics Reply to this message
Channel 7 should be bar from giving false advertising about the coverage of the USA vs Greece basketball last night!They show less than 10 minutes of the whole game!!It was just ridiculous,if you want to show the game, show the full game like SBS did or don't show it at all because you are frustating any basketball fans and wasting their time staying up to watch the game.It was all commercial and repeating the medal moments of the swimming?what's the deal with that!aren't the channel meant to capture as much live events as possible?Instead of repeating the same stuff about 60 trillion times?You have 24 days to cover any olympics events so leave the memories to show later on your today tonight show when the olympics is over!i'm sure when stephanie rice gets back to australia, she will show up in current affair or today tonight show then you can relive those moments later but now please focus on your games because you got less than 24 days to cover it!Be fair to your audience no matter what sport it is and don't give any false advertising and just show highlights of the basketball games.I know Australia is not keen on basketball,but at least show some full game like SBS did!!Shameful channel 7!!

Oh no, I like how the article reads on the front page. American girl scalps her and then she collapses. Nice. That really implies hostility there...when they hugged on the podium.

<<lol I know that feeling. I guess hearing it at late at night sometimes only half awake over a number years has that sort of effect.>>

yeah channel 10's delayed covergae of the F1 is nearly as bad as these Olympics.

ricecrackers70 > they did show the Chinese womens gymnastics team winning Gold and played the Anthem. But you are right, 22 gold and ive only heard the Anthem once.

whereas Australia has won 5 Gold times and ive heard the Anthem 30 times.

it should be "power and the passion" ;-)

looks like they're going to show Germany anthem.

the only time 7 show AFL live is during the Olympics FFS when more people actually want to watch Olympics, every other time its on delay so never watch it.

ohh, thats touching.. its nice when anyone other than the US wins, just to mix it up
