From Wenshuli at GGMB. THX

Some links to Chinese coverage:

1.) China / CCTV 5 live streaming

Windows Media Player should open automatically. The broadcast will take 5-10 seconds to buffer.


2.) Watch CCTV 5 Live online on FreeTube

Also takes about 5-10 seconds to buffer


3.) This website also promises extensive gym coverage (including all of the Prelims sessions), but I'm not sure if it will work outside China:
???????_PPS????????

NB: I used to use this site TVU CHANNELS @ andromedanet.com for CCTV5, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

I wonder if you can watch it with the blocker (for us canadians ) Or if they will have archives? I really hope so cause I'm not staying up all hours to watch it....or i could just tape it on tv...hmmm lol

thanks again

Hopefully this doesn't sound stupid but I'm assuming NBC will rebroadcast all of the womens prelims later in the day??

[bogwoppit]

You will need an IP blocker for Canadians, or non us. Other wise all events will be archived on NBC.

They're going to pick and choose highlights of the qualifying for primetime coverage tomorrow. I suspect we will get to see more if we view it online either live or archived. Though I'm not seeing mens quals archived... will we find it after primetime coverage is over? I found podium training but I'm not seeing quals from last night yet. Hopefully it'll be available tomorrow.

That's what I was afraid of...highlights for the primetime coverage. Well I guess I'll just tape it overnight then and watch it when I get back home tomorrow. Thanks for the info Katy!

I spent $20 on video tapes so I could tape every second of gymnastics, even the coverage on Oxygen.

ok i keep trying to watch videos from that site, but it's not working... it asks me to download a plug-in or proceed w/out plug in and i click proceed w/out plug in because i tried to download it before and it didnt work. so it came up and then on the part that shouldve had the video, it said 'There is an error with the video. Press Play to reload' but then i cant press play because where the little play symbol should be, there is a PAUSE symbol.... idk if any of that made any sence and chances are it didnt, but if anyone knows how i can get it to work let me know!
