Is there any judo coverage in australia? if not why not?

Question

I have searched around and have struggled to find any coverage of the olympic judo. There are australians competing in this event and there is a large dedicated community, but no one (SBS or 7) seems to cover the sport.

Answer 1

NBC has an online live stream: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/player....

Answer 2

cause judo isnt a big sport over here

Answer 3

Unfortunately Judo doesn't rate highly so if it is shown on Australian TV it will be right out of prime viewing hours.  Ask the average viewer the name of an Australian Judo competitor and they won't be able to.  Look which Olympic sportsmen promote products on TV.  They're all swimmers and so forth.  So no, just like shooting and boxing, there won't be much coverage (unless we win a medal and then you might get highlights)

Answer 4

I was watching Judo today, check the guide again, its there but its not covered as much because Australia sucks at it probably
