i am not saying that they're not, i'm just saying that when it was here a couple of years ago, we heard all about it, but now that it's not being held here, they're not talking about it that much.....
we only really mention the olympics, at any given year like in february....
that's all...
i've always known that we're a commonwealth country...
heck, i even got to see one of the bicycle races when it was here, because it came right near where i live, so......i went...and i also went to see one of the vollyball games, we weren't playing, but sitll.....

My problem is the time difference. All the best live stuff will be during the night here. I'll try and stay up but I know I'll only make about half an hour then I'll be asleep.

same here, not too sure what time it's over there, but for me i'm not going to get up at 4 a.m. to watch, stuff, providing that we're even going to get it, which i have my doubts, because it's not here
what i like is that we don't have to compete with the americans...sorry guys....but.......or in that case the russians...

And Chinese DAZN are showing it in Canada susan not sure who/what they are if it's a free network or cable? The games start Wednesday night in Australia so that would be roughly midday Wednesday in the UK and anywhere between 4 and 8am in Canada.

have never heard of that network, so that answers the question...
thanks, i'll just keep on checking on line, to see how we're doing, you'd think that one of our sports stations would do it...
but um, well baseball just started..
it's going to be the hockey play offs i think starting next weekend, so there's that..
and then the basketball play offs will be starting really soon too, so there's that..
susan
