Has anybody found a good link for weightlifting yet?
I just found a very easy solution. Install the Hola Better Internet Chrome extension (link in the post) and then you can watch the BBC streams. They will show every WL session in HD. Works great and is free
Working great for me. Thanks Gregor.
Glad to hear that 🙂 Spread the word!
Thanks for finding a workaround for the non Uk viewers Gregor!
Happy to hear David Goldstrom commentating! Who’s the co-commentator? Anyone know?
No Idea who the other person is, but it’s great to hear Goldy again
Does anyone know if any of these sessions are being recorded? Trying to work around being at work.
I don’t think they are being recorded (at least on BBC)
ive just found out there is a catch up on the bbc stream site. maybe i should have looked first.
Oh sweet, didn’t know about that. Where on the site is it?
If you go to the session you want to watch on the BBC commonwealth games website using the calendar you can click catchup. Then on the next page click liver coverage and the catch up recording will be displayed.
Can’t find an easier way of describing it tho
You can watch them later on BBC iPlayer..
Well glad that the first day went to India! We aren’t exactly a superpower in sports so we’ll take whatever we can. Ha ha. But overall, we have done well in weightlifting at the commonwealth. As you can see the clean and jerks were close to what elite level weightlifters would snatch.
Damn, the BBC stream doesn’t work for me, it just loads an image of the stream then says ‘This content does not seem to be working’. The current stream is not live on my local option of Tenplay either, still only 48 and 53 on there.
That’s weird. Try the ZenMate extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmate/fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme?hl=en and set the country to UK
Thank you Gregor for recommending Hola! It is working great, not only for the games, but for BBC iplayer as well! And it is free! awesome stuff.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Hola extension for Firefox:

Tested and works as well.
Also, the US would be quite competitive in some classes at the CWG, if only they hadn’t defied the crown. 😀
Thanks for finding that
Is anyone else unable to watch the 85kg Men session going on right now? The stream has worked for me on every other event I’ve tried watching but today is just that endless yellow circle going around…and around… and around 🙁
started of a little laggy for me too, but for the last snatches it was fine. You might need to try another server
Nigerian medallist tests positive for diuretics.

Sad as it is to say, at 16 years old, it is quite unlikely that she was the administrator of her PEDs. I hope that this is not the tip of an iceberg at this competition, which has had some fantastic sessions.
First positive doping test in weightlifting at the Games goes to a 16yo 53kg class winner from Nigeria.
