you can't really blame them for their coverage. Its all pre-scheduled so if match times change or delay sometimes you miss home country coverage. Also canada might not have been on the 'main' fencing stage so no camera coverage.

And you can't blame CBC at all for your streaming issues, there's probably a bajillion people using that site...if anything I'd blame your provider!

And they always give the top Canadian finisher an interview unless a lower competitor was a better finisher in the last olympics.

Sounds like you need more sleep.

1) the match time wasn't changed, nor was the piste. I'm fairly sure CBC knew what piste the Canada/France match was on, and had the airing rights as well
2) I wasn't blaming CBC for my streaming issues. I knew for sure that it was my connection, I ended up going down to a friend's place to catch the rest of it.
3) It's simply unfair that Schalm got all the hype. I mean, it's good that she's at least getting the fencing word out there, but at least introduce the other athletes WHILE the competition was on.

and no, I don't need more sleep. I was simply ranting.
