I missed it what happened?

Their dive went tits up, entered the water at different angles (neither straight) and the synchro was poor.

take no pleasure in that like, just thnk the bbc could share the limelight around a bit better

They're just putting the limelight on the people and events that are most anticipated and popular at the moment, understandably.

i think the BBC have really cracked under the pressure to deliver good coverage, so many mistakes/shoddy camera angles

Trying to get some tickets for Friday or sat. Decided this morning I want to join in the Olympic occasion, so booked Friday of work and gonna catch the train down to London from Wigan at 6 am. Does anybody know if you can just buy tickets to access the Olympic park.

It is understandable, but i think they've given into fanfare a little bit, Cav's 26th got covered more than poor Lizzie Armisteads excellent silver

Home games pretty much always improve the medal count of the nation hosting lar

For most sports I can understand it but for something like this, all about focus and not bricking it, I'm not so sure.

It really didn't after she won that she was doing interviews left right and centre

They showed both events in full on TV and online. Obviously the men's team not winning a medal at all is going to get more coverage than Armistead winning a silver, because the former is just more interesting. The BBC are just doing what makes sense.
