Rhythmic gymnastics and artistic swimming coverage

[LaRevolution]

Has anyone managed to find any coverage of either of these on the BBC? I know they've both happened but why are they not on iPlayer/so hard to find?! I can't be the only person that wants to watch them!

The overage is hopeless, especially for less mainstream sports, since discovery bought the rights. It’s ridiculous.

I can’t find them either. I’ve really looked. I can only assume that the BBC only have rights / budget to show some things, not full coverage.

BBC haven't got the screening rights have they, it's another channel?

Hopefully somebody can tell you who!

Might it be Discovery??

Oh nooo @GogAndMagog, I don't think I have Discovery! Off to have a look though, thank you...

I've not seen them either and I've missed them terribly too OP. BBC showing hours of bloody golf and break dance fgs. Hopeless

No and I really want to watch these

It is less than a fiver to get discovery for the month. Cancel in the first month but in that month you can watch all the Olympics.

Best money I've spent in a long time

It’s Discovery Plus you need.

Paying for Discovery+ has been amazing. So much choice and so much less pointless chat.

just had a thing flash up on BBC abou artistic swimming - think it’s on the red button/iPlayer right now.

I'm really disappointed by this year's coverage. It's the kind of thing that usually makes me feel I'm getting value from my licence fee but there's been so little variety this year.

It's on red button now

Thanks so much everyone! I was impatient so signed up for Discovery+ (on offer at £3.99 p/m) and there's loads of coverage on there 👍 but yes, since then I've also seen the duet on BBC

BBC only have the rights to show 3 sports at a time: BBC1, BBC2 and red button. But because they also need to show other stuff on the main channels it's basically any 2 sports at one time.

They released a statement on this at the start of the Games - they cannot afford the rights to show more than that. Wrt pp there is undeniably more interest in the golf and breakdancing than there is in rhythmic gymnastics.
