    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.

    I have an inside source in RTE, I should have an answer for you soon.

    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

    I'll have to remember not to bring it to the gym so :confused:

    I just know I'll be benching some day and you'll come up and grab the bar and
    "Where's the UPC box!!!!"
    "Aaaargh in my house ya freak!!"

    :D

    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!
