    Will watch but have to avoid the bogan, nationalistic fervour of Channel Nein....will stick with Fox, at least I will see some football (and handball) there.

    I just hate spending an hour listening about "Aussie Heroes" who get a bronze in something, whilst a world record performance in a sport we don't care for is ignored.

    And don't get me started on the opening ceremony, where Nein commentators will fap over the latest outfits the Aussies wear. "A wonderful shade of beige and green reflecting the colours of the Aussie outback....."

    Edit: By "beggar", I mean bigger. Thanks autocorrect.
    Handball is the only reason to watch the Olympics IMO.

    Reckon I'll be watching it on Fox mostly so thought I'd see who they had as commentators. Might have to find the mute button on the remote.

    Foxtel has assembled an expert swimming commentary team including one of Australia’s most successful swimmers ever, Olympic gold medallist Susie O’Neill. She will be joined poolside by high profile sports journalist Rebecca Wilson, and 2GB Sydney radio host Ray Hadley, who will be calling the nail-biting action from the competition in the pool.
    That is bogan central - a big pass on that commentary team !

    I see Tracey Holmes has been exhumed again - she is never seen the rest of the four years.

    Tiffany Cherry - mmmmm and where is Mel FFS ??!

    I've just been looking at the TV guide for it - http://www.foxtel.com.au/london2012/tvguide/default.htm

    there's a few football matches on before the whole thing starts, mostly women's football early on

    it all really starts on the evening of Saturday 28 July, of particular interest is the road cycling gold medal

    saw the first "the athletes are going to have lots of sex" story today on SMH. swear they just re-use the story from the 1908 olympics.
