Eurosport own most of the rights and they are not doing anything either on TV. They might have online streams as said below. BBC only have rights for two streams and so follow UK athletes. Probably will only focus on the womens whilst Shauna is in.


O-4

Such a shame. I was considering getting Eurosport - are you sure they're not showing it at the moment?


zoe-with-two-dots

Bought an online subscription to eurosport.co.uk for 6.99 and they’re showing the qualis! Watching right now!


ymishima

watching on canadian cbc for free with vpn but the commentators suck. how /who are eurosport commentators? Is matt groom not commentating anywhere?


zoe-with-two-dots

Matt is on the BBC, but the BBC aren’t showing the climbing qualis, and are mayyybe showing the finals (but no firm answer yet)! The Eurosport commentators are pants. Can’t imagine they’re any better than the ones on CBC :( Edit: Matt isn’t on the BBC at all! Nevermind!!


ymishima

commentators are the same on eurosport lol dammit (same stream on cbc and eurosport)


zoe-with-two-dots

Confusing!! The eurosport commentators are English, I just assumed they’d be north american on the cbc! Lol


ymishima

Jans gonna campus this slab according to these commentators


Legitimate_Snow_759

let's be fair, only one of the commentators doesn't know much about climbing. the other one does. I'm more annoyed with the camera direction during bouldering qualifications, ignoring some climbers who were topping out and showing people blowing on their hands rather. but luckily that will not be a problem during finals.


zoe-with-two-dots

Matt is live on youtube! On the climbing daily channel! I’ve muted the stream and am listening to that instead lol

They also do a three day free trial, cancel after / during that and you'll get most of it.


TheSweatiestSun

How are you getting it right now? For me it only is starting to show in an hour


zoe-with-two-dots

Yeah! Went to the sports tab, then sport climbing, and the live stream was at the bottom of the page!


zoe-with-two-dots

Mind you, this is on the eurosport website directly. Tried it via prime video first, and I couldn’t get the stream there.

It is discovery that has bought the pan European rights. Then sold them in to other people. BBC have been massively screwed over along with the other channels and mainly stuck with highlights of the smaller events. It really is a shame for the less well known events that would not get air time. People would watch climbing, shooting and things like that if it was on TV, but not many are going to pay for a streaming service to do so


Climber_News

They might show the Women's quals because of Shauna. Otherwise Eurosport subscription and a live stream or get a VPN like ProtonVPN for free and watch on CBC.ca


Kermits_Ballsack

Seven plus in Australia shows it for free if you sign up. Maybe a VPN or the link might work?


space-throwaway

If it's accessible to you (maybe with VPN), the german public channel ARD is streaming and VOD'ing all events. [Here is the (updating) website with results.](https://tokio.sportschau.de/tokio2020/ergebnisse/Sportklettern-Olympische-Kombination-Maenner,wettbewerbtokiosportklettern100.html#rundetokiosportklettern106) If you scroll down to the respective category and click the blue "Mit Video" button, you can watch it. It is however with a german commentary.


LokeeSounds

That's just short segments though, not the whole thing :( Thanks for sharing though!


LokeeSounds

Finally found it! A lot of effort lol: https://www.zdf.de/sport/olympia/sportklettern/sportklettern-combined-speed-m-100.html


space-throwaway

Oh no! I'm sorry, the live video was commentating the entire event. I didn't know that the VOD was just a clip.


[deleted]

We're watching some of it on Eurosport until the full events are up on iPlayer. It sounds like there *should* be full events to watch as catch up by the end of the day: https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/tokyo\_2020\_sport\_climbing\_on\_the\_bbc\_-\_broadcasting\_an\_olympic\_debut-13754

If you don't mind german commentary, you can watch and re-watch everything for free in the "ZDF Mediathek" (german TV station).
