The ABC have made a comment about the poor coverage of the recent Winter Paralympics by Channel 7.

Apparently Australia did better than the coverage showed. We came 14th on the Medal Tally.
Australia's Winter Paralympic team might be small, but they've crushed it in Pyeongchang.

The 13 athletes won a gold medal in the men's snowboard cross and bronze medals in the women's giant slalom vision-impaired class, women's vision-impaired super-combined and men's banked slalom.

Australia finished 14th on the medal tally, almost 10 spots better than Australia's 23rd-placed effort at the Winter Olympics.

But despite the success, fans haven't been able to watch Australian athletes claim any of those medals live.

I presume that Channel 7 will be covering the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games? Let's hope they do a better job this time!

last time I watched a games coverage they went from a tv announcer in a studio to a tv announcer in the games village to a 3rd tv announcer then a quick 4 second view of some old comp then back through all the tv announcers again ............

then I turned it off

I hope the coverage is better too. If it's not I won't bother with it.
