Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3306647, member: 9052"] One thing that I find interesting is that when the Olympics are on everyone is super keen to watch the athletics, etc. but then it hibernates for 4 yrs. Even when the commonwealth games are on people will watch it... because we like to watch the Aussies compete and winning So why is there barely any coverage of the world championships for the respective sports outside of those major events?? I think in Aust they might be aired on Bein Sports or Eurosport??... but I recall a while back now they had the swimming qualifications on for either Olympics or Worlds and I was watching them on primetime.... it had the swimmers in there with their club caps on so you could see who were the qlders, etc. I feel that it's one of those things that with a little bit of advertising you could get decent ratings out of it. Who doesnt like watching a bit of long jump, discuss, swimming, etc. The obvious answer would be that the various world champs are held at different times all over the world and in different time zones, but it just seems odd to me that there is zero coverage outside of Olympics and commonwealth games even though I'm guessing there's decent interest in what's happening [/QUOTE]
