    its a shame that bbc haven't got the paralympics
    Yeah as I loved the BBC's coverage. The Paralympics might be the first sell out in the games 52 year history according to news websites. The reason they say that is because 2.1 million out of 2.5 million tickets have already been sold.

    Hopefully it will go great, GB in the Paralympics should also do well as we got quite a good amount of medals in the 2008 games.

    BBC:

    The BBC has revealed that on the busiest day of its London 2012 Olympics coverage it delivered 2.8 petabytes worth of content, peaking when Bradley Wiggins won gold, where it shifted 700Gb/s. It has also said that over a 24-hour period on the busiest Olympic days it had more traffic to bbc.co.uk than it did for the entire BBC coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2010 games.

    They revealed they had 106 million requests for BBC Olympic video content, which included 12 million requests for video on mobile devices across the whole of the Games. Mobile saw the most uptake at around 6pm when people had left the office but still wanted to keep informed of the latest action. Tablet usage, however, reached a peak at around 9pm, where people were using it as a second screen or as they continued to watch the games in bed."

    wow. if i wasn't at home (watching the events), i was on the BBC app keeping up with everything; even watching the live stream of the swimming marathon whilst i actually was in hyde park as it was happening .

    mind you, i didn't know anyone who wasn't watching some events at some point. drives me crazy when people argue that the olympics are a waste of money. it's one of a few (and possibly only) times the whole world is brought together and encouraging patriotism for purposes that aren't associated with war, violence or death (i honestly can't think of something else that has the same effect). if it costs 'x' amount for this to happen, then so be it. members of society deserve something truly positive to root for, in such a dark, negative and pessimistic world we live in. some people just don't realise how important social solidarity really is.

    I thought the olympics were amazing, I tried watching everything at the same time though.
