Thanks. That saved me a bunch of frustration in looking for the schedule. Don't let your expectations soar too much. We've been down this road before. I can't tell you how much badminton I've recorded. I wish they would put it on the internet and let those of us who have interest see it.

I hope the sailing times are not impeded by the sewerage & floating debris.

I'm sorry, but Brazil was not the right venue to hold the games. You can blame the IOC for this debacle.
If you are a swimmer, would you swim in this sewerage?

And, let's not forget about the Zika virus.

I for one will not tune in.

I got to agree with you CR. How Rio was chosen for the Olympics is beyond me. I always thought Rio was some sort of tropical paradise. What an overdeveloped, overrated, cesspool that hell hole is. Crime, pollution, Zika , slum areas etc.................

You've clearly recorded enough to know how to spell badminton. How they came up with that spelling I'll never know.

Frogman, my spell check got the Badminton right. I had to try four or five times. I actually watched several matches and enjoyed it. The Laotians gave nothing up to the Cheeseheads from Wisconsin in spirit.

You probably missed the broadcast from the Cococabana beach this morning about some Golf match with the two women in the background wearing butt floss. The camera man did a masterful job of keeping them in the background while someone blathered on about some putt on the golf course. Like we cared.

I still say it should be spelled badmitton.

Hehe......I did notice the cameraman keeping the butt floss babes in the shot while still zooming in on Trico.

Nice attitude.... go USA. So far, I've only seen people having a great time. But then... who asked for your negative opinion.

Brazil got millions to improve the water quality in advance of the games. They squandered it on other things. They built a lousy 5 treatment plants that promptly broke down because no one was hired to keep them running. According to local experts the water is worse than before the games were awarded with the promise that the problems would be addressed. One thing that is being well hidden is the amount of bodies ...dead bodies..that are found floating in the bay. Nope, you wouldn't find me sailing in that water. It is so sad that politicians, no matter what country they are from, rarely really care about what they do, it's all about money and power and giving lucrative contracts to their friends. Brazil promised to address the problems and all they really did was bulldoze the slums and force those people to find another place to squat. Now the country faces an embarrassment on the world stage. I don't blame the people I blame the folks in power.

And I found it hard to sit thru an hour of jujitsu to watch 15 mins of sailing today. I won't bother to waste my time any more.

That's why I DVR it. I can skip past the BS to get to the 15 minutes I want to see. I actually watched the Laser Radial race twice yesterday. Makes me want to get my old Force 5 out again.

Watched the women's laser race live online yesterday. It is the only way you are going to be able to see it all. Of course you need to log in via your cable or satellite provider username and password. So without one, you will have to get more creative. Complaining about the coverage, or lack thereof, is really just going to fall on deaf ears as this is how it has always been. With sailing, and numerous other sports at the Olympics.

Here is a link form US Sailing with the schedule towards the bottom and a link for each day;
