2008 Olympics - Fencing Televised?

[Dr Epee]

I hope they're going to do the other weapons as well. Watching sabre is only slightly more interesting than watching no fencing at all.

And watching epee is like watching paint dry.

So I guess that just leaves foil.

I'd like to see Meinhardt fence

My computer is quite capable of running FRAPS, so I should be able to record video of my computer playing the video, for posterity.

This, btw, is cool.

[EnduringDusk]

Yeah I hope to see some recordings/replays of the foil fencing.
Hopefully NBC will have good coverage.

unlucky for me (usually), i have vista...

well, it worked in my favor in THIS particular case, providing NBC doesn't totally do in the coverage...

NBC has explicitly said that they will be tracking download activity on its websites as a means of gauging interest in particular events and sports. This includes traffic not only to the video streams, but to blogs, athlete profiles, and "gaming" (not sure what that is). Traffic is intended to drive coverage.
