PurelyAcademic Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Awful start for us overall so far, but we tend to be slow starters in the Olympics for whatever reason. Even in Athens, I recall that the medals were slow to come at first, so I would not panic yet! Looking at the standings, there's many other countries that have not shown up at all yet, so we do have some company in the medal-less department. Not to toot my own horn, by the way, but my very own website (which is also in my signature) features live streams of Greek TV channels and Olympics coverage... www.media.net.gr. Feel free to take a look! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loup Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 drakos thanks for the work The official IOC site is absolutely brutal, and I find it tough to follow Greek athletes The Greek Canadian sprinter Macrozanaris will not be running in either the 100m or the 4X100 this time around due to injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely these medalists (best in the world at that sport hence the medal) could not have goten that much worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurelyAcademic Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Bad Olympics so far for Greece indeed, but again, there's still time to pull out a few medals. I wouldn't venture to say that these are the worst Olympics of all time for us, at least not yet. It wasn't that long ago where getting ONE medal, even bronze, was a huge success for Greece. Looking at some historical medal counts: 1992: 2 golds 1988: 1 bronze 1984: 1 silver, 1 bronze 1980 (boycotted by the US and many others): 1 gold, 2 bronze 1976: none! 1972: 2 silver 1968: 1 bronze 1964: none 1960: 1 gold ...and so on I'm still optimistic we can come away with a few medals, though not as many as in 2000 or 2004, which was to be expected....just consider that most of our weightlifting team was disqualified before the games even started...they've been the source of several medals since 1996, even one of our two in 1992. As an aside, I think several countries will see dropoffs in their medal count, with China's meteoric rise this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's at least 40 or 50 stations there so I doubt every single one wasn't working, though I would not be surprised if NET-ET1-MEGA-ANT1-ALPHA etc. were all not accessible. The links are not broken, however, those streams fill up to capacity at certain hours and are sometimes impossible to reach, while at other times, when those servers are close to capacity, the picture and/or audio breaks up. Best bet would be to try back later if that happens. I've also placed links for live Olympic coverage, including the Eurovision.tv link and several others, including NET-ET1-ET3 if you can get through, at www.media.net.gr/livesports.htm (link is also at the top of the live TV page, www.media.net.gr/livetv.htm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK alot about streaming technology, but anything that fills up or lags I just dont want to deal with anymore (like it used to) so I find it best to find professional pay services or something mainstream like eurovisionsports.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
