I'll go have some more coffee. Now we will have to check the schedule and see if this is a televised event here in the US. Do your best and enjoy your moment! Auntie SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: fat B****rd Date: 11 Aug 08 - 05:02 AM Hey, Brucie and anybody else who wants to know. According to the Radio Times MB's event will be on the BBC 1 coverage between 9am and 12 GMT on Tuesday 12th. Yours (wishing he'd not given up weight training) fB |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Rasener Date: 11 Aug 08 - 07:07 AM I thought weight training was drinking loads of Real Ale |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Jeri Date: 11 Aug 08 - 11:17 AM Yo Peace: From the CBC site:I suspect the first group B is actually A, but what do I know? It doesn't look like anything but women's super-heavyweight will be televised in the US. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Peace Date: 11 Aug 08 - 11:19 AM Thank you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: PoppaGator Date: 11 Aug 08 - 12:08 PM I wonder if her event will be on TV in the US. NBC is providing lots of covereage on multiple networks, at least for those of us with cable or satellite connections. Broadcast viewers migfht not get anything more than the regular NBC network stuff (which is plenty); basic cable give you more Olympics on MSNBC, CNBC and USA, and hi-def cable offers, in addition to all that, a "Universal HD" channel plus two new special channels that provide only live (middle-of-the-night) events. We seem to be getting a wide and seemingly random variety of events, including lots of activity without US competitors, and plenty of different sports, including "minor" ones. I'd guess there's be a pretty fair chance of seeing a British female weightlifter ~ a better chance than at any previous Olympics ~ but only one chance at best. If she's on American TV, but while I'm at work, I wouldn't expect to be provided with replay coverage |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: RobbieWilson Date: 12 Aug 08 - 09:41 AM If you go to bbc and press the red button there is an interview with Michaela on the Day4 news stream. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: GUEST,Guest , The queen Date: 12 Aug 08 - 09:54 AM The video of her latest class is on the BBC Olympics website. Sadly she was injured. She must have been in agony, but she carried on. What a STAR !!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Jeri Date: 12 Aug 08 - 10:04 AM Article at BBC Sport Not THE winner, but obviously A winner. 7th in the world with such an injury is amazing. I hope she'll understand how important that is to others and be proud of her accomplishment. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Peace Date: 12 Aug 08 - 10:08 AM She is a woman of tremendous reserves, courage and class. Wales (GB) could not have asked for anyone better to represent it. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Les from Hull Date: 12 Aug 08 - 10:21 AM What an incredibly brave performance! Well done Michaela. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: George Papavgeris Date: 12 Aug 08 - 11:13 AM Her interview afterwards reduced me to pulp. Her trembling chin when she mentioned the years of preparation that she put in got too much for me. I am proud to know her, I have met her through Breezy, she's a lovely lass and a credit to the old hairy-knees. Gutsy lass, very gutsy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: fat B****rd Date: 12 Aug 08 - 11:53 AM Outstanding young lady. A credit to her family. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Aug 08 - 12:22 PM The pain on her face made me wince. Such grit and determination - she gets our gold medal for that. Well done, Michaela! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: SINSULL Date: 12 Aug 08 - 12:45 PM Well done, lady! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Aug 08 - 12:59 PM The lousy BBC won't allow playing the video here in the States for some reason.......But that look of pain.........Like I said, the woman defines winner and the true spirit of what sports are about. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Peace Date: 12 Aug 08 - 01:01 PM 100% with you on that, Pat. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: MMario Date: 12 Aug 08 - 01:11 PM To go to the Olympics is outstanding. To come in 7th is phenomenal, given the competition. To do it with an injury....yes, 'spaw has it right. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: ClaireBear Date: 12 Aug 08 - 03:04 PM I went to NBC's Olympics site, got the rewults for Group B, then saw a little button that says "Rewind" -- clicked it -- presto! It's four and a half hours of raw weightlifting footage, during which at some point I hope to see Michaela's lifts. Brava! Brava! C |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: ClaireBear Date: 12 Aug 08 - 03:16 PM I can't see JavaScript, but I gather you can go directly to the women's competition by clicking on something. I clicked at random on something I couldn't see above the text/results area and found myself suddenly two and a half hours in, at the beginning of the Group B coverage. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: katlaughing Date: 12 Aug 08 - 03:19 PM Another great article and photo of her HERE. And, if you want a lesson from herself on how she does it Click Here! Well done, Girl!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: ClaireBear Date: 12 Aug 08 - 04:20 PM NBC weightlifting commentator said of Michaela's last lift: "What a performance from an injured athlete in great pain! What heart! That is what makes weightlifting great! "Amazing!!!! Thats one of the gutsiest lifts I have ever seen!!!" Yes!!! To all that. Claire |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Backwoodsman Date: 12 Aug 08 - 04:49 PM Michaela's courage is an inspiration to all. A great competitor and a very brave lady. Breezy, you must be one proud dude, and rightly so. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 13 Aug 08 - 04:13 AM Breezy, you certainly have one to be proud of. Michaela's performance was the epitome of the dedication, sportsmanship, and pure raw courage that was ONCE the hallmark of the Olympic Ideal. In my book she deserves a gold medal at least as much as any who will actually bring one home. My arms and legs are still aching from pushing that bar up with her. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: My guru always said Date: 13 Aug 08 - 08:33 AM Fantastic gutsty stuff, well done Michaela!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 13 Aug 08 - 12:36 PM Saw her on the box, what a wonderfully brave performance, hope she hasn't done herself any permanent injury. RtS (couch potato) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: olddude Date: 13 Aug 08 - 02:46 PM My God what courage. I don't know your family but I can tell you I could not be more proud of anyone ever. She is amazing and has courage that one rarely sees. She is a superstar in my books and has a gold metal in the hearts of all of us here. I watched my daughter crawl across an iron man finish line because she refused to stop 2.2 miles swimming, 112 miles biking, 26.9 miles running all non stop. Finished the race and had to go to the hospital after words. She ran the race sick with a fever but refused to stop. When our kids show this much heart all we can do is be proud of them and know they are the true winners in the hearts and minds of all of us. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breezy's Daughter Beijing Bound From: Cats Date: 01 Sep 08 - 11:49 PM At Bideford festival one of the pubs was full of folkies, not wanting to sing, but watching Michaela. The place was packed and everyone there lives every second of the event with her and felt the pain. |
