    Ok. With the weightlifting due to start 3am (i think) Saturday morning.
    Anyone got any site to search the tv listings to try and catch some of the action ?

    I've looked on the bbc websaite and they seem to be showing quite a bit.

    Allot of it is on "Satellite and Cable Six". No idea if I have that. I have Sky.

    Europsort are showing some also but there listing s can't be searched I don't think.

    Got my UPC DVR a few weeks ago with the "Orympics" in mind, particularly the "Orympic Weighrifting". Sweeeet.

    This is what I'm told for RTE anyway:

    Weightlifting is covered on the 11th 0830 – 1030 1200 -1400.

    I'd say Eurosport will show more than that though

    The Chinese lad who won the 56kg class was very impressive. Only 17 years old

    He impressed me as well, Qingquan Long or something like that. His smile was almost as impressive as his lifting, he really enjoyed it out there!
