Nine Olympic Coverage

On The Cheap Seats on 10 tonight, clips from Nine’s broadcast were shown during chats with Australian medallists Nina Kennedy (gold in women’s pole vault) and Matt Denny (bronze in men’s discus).

They played the clip of one of Nina’s attempts (I think it’s her successful attempt at 4.9m which led to her claiming gold) but stopped it just as she was about to leap. Host Tim McDonald said “that’s all we are legally allowed to show” and the audience erupted in laughter.

EDIT: here is the said video

Was Tim joking or was he correct?

P.S. IOC was shown in tiny letters below the Nine watermark as the source of the clips.
