    TV coverage just gets better.

    An extract from my daily foreign currency newsletter from Moneycorp.

    "Good morning. With next year's Olympic Games opening on 27 July next year it would be fair to think there were still 366 days to go before blanket coverage of 20-metre small-bore rifle, individual foil and under-58kg taekwondo would fill our flat screens. Not so. On 19 May 2012, the BBC begins a broadcast that will make the marathon look like a sprint. Starting at Land's End, the Olympic torch will cover 8,000 miles in the hands of 8,000 people, taking 70 days. And according to the Daily Mail, the BBC is going to televise it every inch of the way. There will also be a two-hour broadcast of the day's highlights every evening, for those unable to follow every moment of the riveting event."

    Don't forget to put this date in your diary.

    Yes but the TV coverage from May 19th sounds a bit like watching the snail grand national.

    I dunno if you're taking the piss as per but I'm looking forward to it as well. Okay, I wish they were somewhere else and someone else was paying for them but I love these big sporting events. 2012 is going to be a good year for sporting events what with the European championships in Poland and Ukraine too.

    at a time when people are struggling to make ends meet, cuts galore and old ****s like ER cant afford food and warmth, it's nice to see the government spending 9billion on something where the only thing that will pull in the crowds is the 100 m final <ok> at least they've got their priorities right i suppose..

    Don't listen to him jordan. He just wants to befriend you so he can have his evil way with you.

    We've all fallen for it in the past.

    The Olympics should be restricted to the Ten Decathalon events the Marathon, Swimming and the weights.

    All the rest of it is bullshit.
