Yup it came off partway round - Ian Stark mentioned it on the BBC commentary.

Shades of Mark Todd!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Looked like it might have been the iron that broke!

 

[Wishfilly]

Good on her for getting round for her team then!

Probably only what we’ve seen on the live running - I think the Olympic broadcaster produce the footage. The BBC coverage started with Oli’s round but it was the same fences as we saw live on the Discovery footage.

The host broadcaster (NHK) works with OBS to provide the footage. The different takers/broadcasters then buy from a range of options from just the footage to a range of commentary positions from fully equipped to just a room. Then there's the transmissions side that gets the sound and pictures distributed round the world.

I work with software that manages the logistics of producing and transmitting especially Sports and News.

The client I'm working with atm is responsible for the satellite platform that is distributing alot of the Olympics.

no worries, i'm mainly relying on the live scoring, OH snoring louder than the TV now.. perhaps i should turn it up haha. one day we will have a proper house!

 

[TPO]

Wish we had seen more of Nicolas T

 

[milliepops]

feels like it's unusual to have the finish straight after the last fence and not round a bend these days, but perhaps that's just badminton-itis in my mind.

 

[Wishfilly]

Nicolas so close to the time there.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Inside time ?

 

[Lexi_]

Horton Point wasn't it?

Yup! I think I had the highlights video ?

Now if the commentary could tell the difference between the NZ male rider and the German female rider that would be great.

Cause I'm tired, I first read that as the cat was hoovering!!!

 

[Boulty]

Oopsie for Sandra!

If anyone heard an extremely loud cheer coming from the NW, that was me.
