Bein Sports

 I was trying to watch the women's high jump yesterday. Channel 7 used to do the world athletics coverage but for some reason the Bein sports are doing it.  This can be seen as part of Foxtel and it has to be the worst standard of coverage.  Minimal cameras, minimal commentators. The guy yesterday was calling a track race and by the time he swings back to the field, the jumping has moved on. So he starts reading the result board giving us the latest view but we are waiting to continue from where it left off. So no spoiler alert then they replay the jump he just described and he is embarassed but shrugs it off. This happened more than once and in the end I don't think we saw the actual finish of all the jumps.  They have more than one channel. Use one for track and one for field, it's not that hard.
