Go onto the official site http://www.athens2004.com/ and get details of when the event is on.
Then go onto the BBC TV Olympics coverage page of their site http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/tv_coverage/3840297.stm to see if they are showing it. As they have an interactive element for satellite viewers they will broadcast a lot of events live.
