RE: 2012 Day at the Test

The french have it the bag, they have to do something bad to lose it.

I heard today that there are a number of rounds to the voting. In the first round they vote for the top two, then all of the IOC members vote again for which of the top two they want. The french will win the first round and we will come second. It is down to the second round when those that voted for Russia and spain vote again for either France or England, This will iron out who gets the most votes.

If that makes sense.

As for television coverage, I am hoping with the build up to the next olympics this will improve, especially with our success last time.

I thought the coverage in the last olympics was excellent, it helped that team GB got so far.

I have scoured the satellite sports coverage for recent tournaments, but with no luck. I will keep looking
