The IOC is launching copyright claims against anyone attempting to load it on to you tube.
Methinks they dont want it out there as only partial footage has been broadcast on licensed networks. Even that looked gruesome.

They replayed each run about 10 times and banged on and on and on about it. FFS, Bilodeau won, Begg Smith came second. Nothing's going to change that and crapping on about it won't make Dale feel any better. I thought Begg-Smith handled the ridiculous situation very well. He seems like a very level headed bloke and a great asset to the Australian Skiing Team.
Then, to really rub it in, Eddie interviewed Bilodeau immediately after.
Very, VERY poor form Eddie and Channel 9.

Channel 9's coverage has been cringeworthy to say the least - and to think they've got the next couple of Olympics

I flicked back and forth from Channel 9's 'coverage' over a couple of hours and all it was was Eddie banging on about how Begg-Smith should have won gold. Actually, before they interviewed Bilodeau, I was convinced 9 weren't even in Vancouver and were still broadcasting from Melbourne.
