    Has anyone looked into possible ways to see the archery at the olympics?
    Like online tv channels, or what days and times archery will be shown on
    the some of the main tv channels like bbc or something?

    Kind of related, came across http://www.youtube.com/user/archerytv on youtube during the week and if people don't know about it they might want to take a looksee.

    They have the 2008 and 2006 archery world cups as well as a series "The road to Beijing" which is a bunch of quick interviews with famous archers who are going to the Olympic games.

    I won't post a link here but there's a great torrent doing the rounds of the Men's Team Final between Korea and Italy. Try google with "sbs beijing olympic 2008 man archery final kor vs ita hdtv 720p x264 aye mkv" ;)


    (and if anyone feels like watching some real life archery this weekend, Kilkenny Archers are having their outdoor shoot in Tullaroan, Co. Kilkenny on Saturday and Sunday) :p

    That's a fabulous torrent actually :D HDTV, incredibly clear, and
    the match came right down to the last arrow
    as well, so it was incredibly exciting.

    It is 1.3Gb though...

    yeah it looks great, 1.4GB for 35mins of video! It's probably worth mentioning that the commentary is in Korean.

    I found links to three other Olympic Archery videos, but they appear to be on private trackers.
