Tokyo Olympics Coverage

There’s a fair few people who have decided being away from their families for five weeks (1 week prior to games start, 2 Weeks of games then 2 weeks hotel quarantine on return) or so is not for them and that’s entirely understandable.

Strange they’re using a backdrop of the Sakura Cherry Blossom, but that season has well and truly passed here in Japan.

I so want these games to be a success but they have not even started and it is just a shitshow with all these people being positive to covid.

Ugh Baz’s doing Swimming. I hope Ian and Leisel can take control of most of the coverage when he’s commentating (I was hoping when he was made Lord Mayor, we would be saved his commentating at the Olympics, but alas I didn’t get that lucky).

No mention of Brisbane 2032 bid on Seven. Would be an absolute shame if we couldn’t watch

How about other states? I’m in Melbourne and desperately want to watch it after having to cancel my flights and accommodation to travel up to Brisbane for the announcement!

No coverage listed for other states on multichannels. I guess it will be available on 7Plus.

Not all tvs have 7+
