Coverage of Men's Gold Medal Match

[brybry]

Did they ever air the match in its entirety? Anyone know if they will release a DVD?

nope as far as i know...there's nothin and jus what they showed that one nite...deep into the second set

That's so ridiculous. I saw it being replayed on TV here in China yesterday evening. I actually thought, enough already, the Olympics are over. Sad that US media couldn't even broadcast the full game where US won gold.

i agree! the match should have been showed in its entirety

I managed to get every match but the medal round recorded to my DVR with hopes of moving to tape to show my players on tournament trips, yet the majority of matches recorded are bare snippets! I also recorded the gold medal match expecting the whole thing thinking, "Oh man this'll be great for them." Alas, I was wrong. I feel like this shafted boys athletes across the country, because while the girls could watch the entirety of the women's gold medal match, the men were only shown in bits when they won the first gold medal in 10 years! ¡Que lástima!

There may be a couple of places where you can download the entire match. Mind you, there may or may not be commentary in English.

www.inside-volley.com then go to Men's Multimedia.

If you are able to download torrent files, www.mininova.org.

Good Luck!

The entire Olympics coverage is pathetic. That p.o.s country should never have been allowed to host the Olympics at all. Good thing I only saw the 1st 10min of the opening ceremony and when the cauldron was lit; the Barcelona opening ceremony & cauldron lighting is still the best and the Atlanta closing ceremony is also the best closing ceremony. Rogge should be voted out, or however it's done, as IOC president for not only allowing china to host but also allow them to fleece everyone participating in the games, watching, and covering the olympics. The moronic media itself didn't even bother fighting for anti-censorship and the pathetic nbc crew didn't bother to pursue the REAL stories of the government's act of imprisoning the protesters for the duration of the olympics amongst various issues. Good thing Pres. Bush is around to put the chinese gov't's president and his cronies in their places; as in if ye mess w/the U.S militarily I will kick yer sorry arse all the way up Russia's arse and piss on ye like a lowlife commie that ye are and I won't hesitate to press the red button if ye so blink to activate yer own red button. There is a God for He created George Bush in his own image. Thank God.

When trolling, you have to learn to set the hook gently. Wait for the fish to take it. If you jerk too hard trying to set the hook, all you do is lose the bait and end up with an empty hook.
