Just noticed that the prelims etc will be shown on the following mornings at 6:30 - 7:30 am
Sat 09 Aug 06:30 Preliminary Round 2008 Beijing Olympic Games BBC1 (06:30-06:50)
Mon 11 Aug 06:30 Preliminary Round 2008 Beijing Olympic Games BBC1 (06:30-07:30)
Tue 12 Aug 06:30 Finals 2008 Beijing Olympic Games BBC1 (06:30-07:30)
Wed 13 Aug 06:30 Preliminary Round 2008 Beijing Olympic Games BBC1
I think its a typo that the Finals are before the Prelims, unless theres a box off for 3/4 etc after the final tho that seems daft. |

Not sure mate, was looking through the paper yesterday and they had a good 2 page spread on the Irish team, it stated that some of the fights are at 12:30pm.
Hopefully there is radio coverage so I can listen while out on the road. |

Hopefully yes, just so long as it doesn't clash with our national sports of rowing and three-day eventing. :x |

Only back in with the AMA's on Monday there, the best ones are all bang on weight too so make life easier. Been in with the Pro's most of the summer anyway.
got a few good ones at 56Kg this year, tho both are away on long holidays still, one is in Iran (his homeland) for another 6weeks but tells me via email he is under weight and training hard out there too. we shuold have at least 4-6 Irish champs this year, though 2 if not 3 will be female.
hope your training harder than last year :lol:
good Luck mate. |
