Vancouver: Mens Downhill
Login
There is live action available on the web in Ireland via www.eurovisionsport.tv (I think). If thats not it, I think you should be able to pick it up from the official Olympics website. I was able to watch lots of live action last night including the boarder cross which was very exciting. Only caught the downhill later on - very impressive win by Defago. Interesting to see the older guys doing well.
They called it then as the guys who were left to go were all outside the top 25 in the world and so "assumed" they couldn't challenge the times that had been put up if the likes Walchoffer hadnt managed it - plus the weather was improving to sunshine so the bottom was getting slushier and times on the bottom section were creeping up all the time.
They'd have looked daft if someone (Ed Drake as a mad example!) had had a barnstormer and come in on top of Cuche's time but it wasnt very likely by then I guess.
Yeah i also noticed that, it would show them starting off then cut straight to around 30 - 40 secs.
Bit disappointed Cuche didn't do well as i anticipated but still got more events to go.
COME'ON THE CUCHE !
that's extremely impressive
lol, you can't do that on a tray :roll: :cry:

But I have a question...........Why was gold called after the 31st skier when there was so many more skiing the downhill? This may be a stupid question but i'm curious to know. I live in Ireland and can't use bbc's iplayer, can only watch what's shown on bbc 2 :cry:

What I found more frustrating was that once the BBC stopped the live streaming on BBC and you watched it on the red button you didn't get to watch the full run they basically jumped to 1:40:00 so i assume we weren't watching it live on BBC2 for them to do that?
Was annoying not being able to watch Ed Drake ski all the way down the run. Granted he was unlikely to place anywhere high but would still have been good to watch the only British skiier from top to bottom :cry:

Was it because the starting intervals were shorter after the first 30 or so?
