The coverage ive seen has been incredibly poor IMO, I expected too much or was spoilt by the Olympic coverage.

I haven’t managed to get into it. Too much chatting in the studio, flipping between sports and adverts mean it just hasn’t caught my attention in the same way it normally would.

They are driving me absolutely mental. There's more chatting shit than there is action, unless it's boxing!

I'm on Virgin and can't get HBO Max unless I upgrade my box, by updating the software or something. But in doing that, it deletes everything I've not watched on my box, so I haven't bothered. It's the shittest TNT/Eurosport coverage I've ever seen. And the coverage also keeps cutting out, so there's a completely black screen - sometimes with and sometimes without commentary!

I don't know if anyone knows this is starting today? Well the open ceremony is and bowls and para bowls are starting today

It was originally planned to be held in Australia but they had issues with funding so Glasgow are now the hosts

It'll be shown on TNT sports and highlights are on channel 5

Sad it's not on mainstream tv, especially as it is in Glasgow. A lot of people don't even realise it's on. It was very well publicised when it was in Birmingham Sign of the times I suppose 😞

I’m going to email them to tell them how shit it was. Eurosport always responded when I complained, so let’s see whether TNT do!

I love athletics, but I’d never realised how annoying Euan Thomas is!

I’m off to Birmingham on Saturday next week. I wonder who is doing the European Athletics coverage?

I’ve just switched on the opening ceremony. Seems they couldn’t afford either Hazel Irvine or Andrew Cotter from the BBC to do the commentary (although I do recognise the commentators voice, I just can’t place it).
Odd that Channel 5 went off to adverts mid athletes walking in but guess that’s the price you pay for the BBC not covering this sort of stuff.
Nice to see the Duke of Edinburgh there
