The #Olympics coverage on #BBC is a shambles.
Yesterday they weren't showing half of what the schedule said they should show. (And not just because it was washed out)
Today the schedule says they've not got anything live after 8:15am BST!
So much for planning my viewing 🙄

Looks like the "Schedule" might be less of a schedule and more of a "list of things we're showing or have shown".
At 09:16, there's now 17 "Live" events today, the last of which is the Judo at 09:12.
If I trust the BBC One schedule on iPlayer then there's mountain biking and canoe slalom in their "1pm to 6pm" show.

EXCEPT the "Olympic TV deal" page says that they didn't get rights to everything. And I couldn't find coverage before 🙄
Now the "live" filter on the schedule says that there's street skateboarding heats live.

But "BBC One Morning" only appears to have gymnastics, rowing, boxing and equestrianism.
"Day 2 Extra - Morning" has badminton, volley ball, shooting, gymnastics, boxing and judo
And "Extra Daytime" has only just started with swimming and hockey
😐
Think I'll see what happens at 4pm with the street final gold medal event and how easily I can get that on the BBC and then consider one month of Discovery+ for £4 _just_ to get some reliable coverage.
Which is a shame. Because the Beeb is categorically the best broadcaster bar none. Quality shows. No adverts. Generally not arsehole presenters. Intelligent documentaries and comedy. The lot.
