    Apparently it's the OBS who do the filming and they haven’t been paid to do so. There's also no coverage of the marathon. Channel 4 might film a bit of that otherwise on Sunday they won’t actually have any sport to film. Channel 4 have probably got a camera crew down there to film medal ceremonies and interviews but that’s about all. They can't afford to film it all.

    Our men are ranked number 1 through. More moaning from dad tonight as not every Briton wins a medal. Yesterday he said Lee Pearson should repay his funding as he did not get his individual gold’s.

    I saw they'd come top in the ranking round the other day, I'm currently keeping an eye on them on the London site.

    Lee himself said bronze was the max he could get out of himself and his horse the other day and he's happy to have one of each colour. He was also delighted with his silver.

    so basically, if its not Athletics, Swimming or Basketball, you dont have a hope in hell:mad: I am bloody fuming. I absolutely love my cycling, road or track. How the bloody hell can they hope that people will support the Paralympics if they dont bloody screen the events

    So true. Hopefully the increase in support will make whoever has it in 2016 think to show more supports & more hours.


    Good luck Katrina in her heat :D

    It's nothing to do with channel 4. It's the Olympic Broadcasting Committee and the International Paralympic Committee that decide all the live feeds and which sports get broadcast or not. For financial reasons they couldn't afford to cover every sport and so stuff like archery, fencing, rowing, sailing, equestrian and road cycling got cut.

    I'm gutted they had to be cut, because I would've watched all of them, but that's just the way these things go sometimes. :(

    Does the no coverage of the road cycling include the handcycling at 3.15? I rather wanted to watch that as Alex Zanardi (ex F1 driver) is making his debut in that. AZ is a very brave guy, I hope its covered.

    Oh and morning all Im on for a brief 10 minutes :)

    If your parents get this irate over just something on the telly, I dread to think how they have the patience to cope when it comes to serious real life dilemmas. I can't stand the walking on egg shells atmosphere of being around aggressive people like that who could go off one at any given moment for no reason whatsoever. :(

    I know I have a very short fuse at times and can be a really sore loser, but even I'm not that bad.
