The last time they were in LA they were on in the middle of the night here. Youâd start the day with a highlight show on RTE of what happened the night before.
No Hugh Cahill on boxing?
Not complaining
Edit: Probably poached by BBC
Nearly a good enough reason to go to LA so. Although I imagine morning athletics sessions will probably be scheduled for 8am PST or something ridiculous like that
Has something happened with hughie C? Was that what kimmage was on about?
Whatâs going on
Major events on the west coast are generally scheduled to suit east coast prime time. Superbowls on the west coast have the first half in daylight and thatâs in January.
India is probably in the best time zone for having night events be in a time zone that can be seen by most of the world.
Major athletics finals in LA will likely be 1am-3am our time. The marathon in 1984 started at 1am our time.

Iâd imagine attending an Olympics in LA would be quite a trial. No public transport and spread out venues would require the use of car subjecting you to the hell of the cities traffic.

Thereâs a lady from Bhutan still tipping around the marathon course.
Went through 35k in just over 3 hours. She should break the 3.50 mark, Iâd imagine.
Itâs no harm every now and again to let the Africans know that we have some champion distance runners in Europe as well. A bit like the Ryder Cup, that was a win for the whole continent.
Disappointing we havenât seen any modern pentathlon. Delinquent horses are an essential part of the final weekend of the Olympics.
The schedule today is very poor for the final day of an Olympics. The two highlights are probably Serbia v Croatia in the menâs water polo final at 1pm and the womenâs weightlifting 81kg starting NOW. Other than that itâs mainly track cycling and a few team finals such as the menâs handball, womenâs volleyball and womenâs basketball.
No boxing, no showjumping, the marathons are done.

Public transit has improved significantly in LA and more lines are getting built.
The biggest issue in LA is that it is associated with low income and crime.
Iâve used public transport in California and itâs usually just me and the homeless people on the bus. Interesting experience.

California is the home of the highway.

Sure would you and the other cunt not just come out with your racist commentary instead of hiding behind coded language? Cowards.
Itâs just like the Luas Red Line.
Iâm not seeing anything bud
Some very very harsh judging in the womenâs weightlifting competition. Challenges flying in from the competitors. This is where you need a real weightlifting expert like Ronan Collins to explain to the viewer exactly what is happening.
Youâre pathetic. You truly areâŚ
It has nothing to do with raceâŚ
