    Anyone know if BBC or RTE are covering the judo and other combat sports or if there are any streams available

    watching Judo on bbc olympic channel 7 right now,


    RTE say they are showing it today, but it will probably only be the category the irish girl is in.

    BBC are offering full coverage on the "Red Button" menu selection.

    RTE had the Lisa against China (cant remember her name) in the final 16 but that's all I could find.
    BBC 3 had a mens and womens final.

    Bit disappointed in how much, the BBC red button coverage wont work for me so hoping for better TKD coverage

    Found the frequencies and stuff online and got this done. Its brilliant getting to watch it all with commentary and no ad breaks.
    Cant wait for the taekwondo coverage

    Ok i'm clueless:o when it comes to judo

    but watching the olympics i have some questions....

    *Can't understand why some of the women have long hair surely it would be better that they have it short..with less chance of it getting pulled and getting in their eyes

    *Can they not design a better costume one that won't unravel, the amount of time spent redoing their clothing is unreal and tedious for spectators

    *Has it ever happened that a judo match has turned into an all out scrap?
    watching some contests i've notice alot of nasty feeling between opponents with some sneaky pushes and pinches..does it ever happen that someone loses it and gives an opponent a smack in the mouth and all hell breaks loose?? even in an olympics match?

    As long as the hair is tied back in accordance with the rules, how long they keep it is their own business. Its a sport after all.

    Its never bothered me.

    I seen it happen once at an Open where one kid hit another and got disqualified.
