Paralympics

Fantastic

I'd go so far as to say even more enthralling form a viewers perspective that the able bodied games

So far I have watched the Downhill and Biathlon and it's just amazing to watch... Heart n mouth stuff and you never know what will happen next.

Only down side has been the C4 TV coverage. It's a bit scatter gun and all over the place but as far as the actual competition is concerned I suspect I wont be getting much work done in the next week

Don't take it out on C4 too much, they will be buying coverage from whoever won the broadcasting rights. In the UK they were to blame but their budget is significantly lower than the BBC.

Where it falls down is they jump from sport to sport and it's all a bit disjointed. I'm sure that both C4 and the BBC had access to multiple video streams but where the BBC had the Red Button and ran three or four concurrent sports C4 don't and try to cover them all at once and in my opinion it doesn't work. They should stick to showing one at a time and if needs be replay the others overnight.

This is the pinnacle of disabled sport and it deserves better coverage.

 

[Boris]

Right...

I do blame C4... The coverage is crap. I know there are only four sports on today but so far today we have had the same 10-20 mins of video of the super G played about 5 or 6 times and even that's been edited down to remove any crashes. It's almost as if it's bad form to admit that disabled athletes can crash.

The only break in the monotony has been the curling. We haven't seen any Sledge Hockey and and only a hint of the cross country.

Try harder C4. We deserve better.
