Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to find any sort of video of the table tennis at the Olympics?
I've heard of several youtube accounts being closed due to copyright issues related to TT at Rio.

Although the IOC (International Olympics Comittee) have the right to protect their videos, once it's been played a few times, they may as well release the official version, or else many people will miss out on seeing it altogether :( :( :( it's not as if they're desperate for money!

I'm lucky I had a timewarner account to login to not get kicked off the live stream. As far as videos, there are so few on youtube.

I've found it quite frustrating that you can only find about 30 seconds of matches on you tube. The channel 7 app allows you to watch full replays but can share with my TV.

So full matches are available via the Ch 7 App?

Yes, although finding particular matches, particularly in earlier rounds where fewer people have been knocked out, is somewhat hit-and-miss because of the lack of labelling. You can narrow it down to date, gender (doesn't always work) and round (more or less).

Also, there are some playback glitches that see particular points replayed then stopped half-way, etc. I'm sure someone smarter or more persistent than me has worked it out properly!

IOC are tough on everything. When we hosted Team GB vs Australia just prior to the 2012 London Olympics there was all sorts of copyright stuff around the Olympics. We were not allowed to make any reference to the Olympics in any of our advertising / marketing for the event, even coming up with the term Team GB needed approval.

The IOC want their pound of flesh for everything linked to their name / brand identity, regardless of what the motive is for using it. On the other side of the argument, if you'd spent years and years building up a very successful brand, would you be happy for others to make money off your hard work - and possibly jeopardise your credibility by producing substandard material / products using your "brand" name to sell them?

Haven't seen 1 second of Olympic TT on our 3 TV channels of Olympics here. Ok, I know they've had some of it on (not sure how much), but I haven't managed to see any of it. I even recorded all 3 channels during the night hoping to see my clubmate Heming Hu and his doubles partner Dave Powell play. Nada, nothing...NOT A THING! Plenty of golf and tennis (don't mind these), and then heaps of swimming and rowing, soccer, basketball etc. But finding TT would be like finding the golden egg the goose layed. I wonder if I'll find even a glimpse of their match on Youtube.

Went for a search, and about the only thing I found worthwhile watching was some highlights from Melissa Tapper's match that she was knocked out from:

Hi Reb,

As i said in another thread, I saw the last 2 games of Tapper's match Sunday a week ago on one of the 7 channels. I took a look at the 7 web site and could only find reference to a smart phone app to look at all sports. Only replays I could find on it were "Highlights" which had already aired on one of the channels. My phone is dumb. Nor could I find a schedule of when sports would be telecast on free to air TV.

Anecdotally, non-TT people I have spoken to have been quite happy to watch whatever 7 puts on, but for us single sports afficionados it has been crap (c).

That made me look up to see who the IOC actually are:

Who we are
The IOC is a not-for-profit independent international organisation made up of volunteers. The IOC President presides over all its activities, while the IOC Session and Executive Board are responsible for taking the main decisions for the organisation.

How we do it
The IOC generates revenue for the Olympic Movement through several major marketing programmes, including the sale of broadcast rights and The Olympic Partner (TOP) programme. More than 90 per cent of this income is redistributed to the wider sporting movement, which means that every day the IOC provides the equivalent of USD 3.25 million to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world.


The International Olympic Committee, and the organisations within the Olympic Movement, are entirely privately funded.
The IOC manages the sale of media rights to the Olympic Games, the TOP worldwide sponsorship programme and the IOC official supplier and licensing programmes.
The following chart provides a guide to the revenue generated from each major programme managed by the IOC and the OCOGs during a four year Olympic cycle.

Here in the US, NBC broadcaster is quick to take down anything Olympic related. I also haven't watched a single event longer than a minute on live TV while flipping channels because I don't have any interest in the particular event. Their NBC sports phone app allows you to watch replays is what I've been told, but I haven't bothered to install it yet.
