Anyone know when the power lifting is supposed to be aired?

Probably never. Unless it's beach volleyball, swimming, or gymnastics, don't count on seeing it. I am so pissed at NBC's coverage. We've already had a bunch of other sports, but they get no more than a minute here or there, then back to lap after lap in the pool.

Sorry I can't answer your question :mad:

ESPN has some coverage, so does MSNBC (i believe thats the one) they had shot put and boxing on the other day, also Equestrian (who da hell watches that?!) and fencing (which is actually pretty cool to watch)

i agree, way to much time being spent on swimming any gymnastics.

I've noticed Bravo has the most "under represented" sports. I just finished watching Weightlifting, badminton, tennis, and now it's Judo up next. This is all while Track and Field was on NBC.

No doubt, the coverage on NBC has been nothing but gymnastics, swimming/diving and track and field. If you have cable I'm sure you can find weight lifting though. NBC is a huge conglomerate that owns MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo and USA. So all of these channels are showing Olympic footage too. The NBC website would have TV schedules listed I'll bet.
