Am I missing something? I can't find any mention of them being shown on either 9 or Foxtel. They have to be showing them somewhere, surely?

ABC. No crappy Channel 9 ads - hurray!

Shame our ABC coverage is a bit hit and miss.

Excellent. Didn't look at ABC.

I'm not looking at it, either. Stoopid black hole reception coverage. Gourmet Farmer it is.

Opening ceremony looked good (from the highlights I saw).

Just found it on the ABC site. Will watch tomorrow.

Have been watching them on ABC2 tonight, amazing swimmers with no arms!!! My youngest absolutely loves watching them.

He wasn't called Bob was he?

Hehe, an oldy but a goody, heard that earlier on. I just can't believe how fast they can go down that pool.

I just hope they come back up again.

You're a shocker.

the youtube channel is available to aussie viewers

ABC2 commentators are an odd lot- very unprofessional, but strangely fun to watch. Wish they'd show more action and less talk though- they only show the odd event with an Aussie in it.

Missed the opening ceremony.

It's on the ABC site. I got very frustrated with the commentators last night. Well actually it was the woman asking moronic questions that if asked at the Olympics would be classed as offensive. She was also talking about a competitor and was asking someone if he thought she'd medal and then said 'I know you don't like that verb'. Well I don't either given that it's not a verb you stupid stupid woman. It could almost make you wish for Channel 9!

The opening ceremony was awesome. For some reason, it had more heart and seemed more genuine than the big showstopper of the Olympics.

We've been watching the events so far. My daughter is very interested in it. I remind her, hey, look at those athletes...the only limits are the ones you put on yourself.
