Anyone watching the 7plus coverage from overseas needs warning…

The commentators you will see won’t be the knowledgeable ones (eg Nicole Livingstone) who most people watching world feeds love.

. The lead commentator will be a guy called Basil Zempilas and is pretty much despised by all Aussie swimming fans.

Fortunately he will be assisted by Ian Thorpe & Cate Campbell who will bring their knowledge to the calls but, sadly, Basil will be talking a lot lot more than either.

Sorry 🙁

If there are any athletics (track & field) fans watching from overseas our commentators in that sport are much, much better.

I will miss the global feed but at least this way I won’t keep missing post-race interviews.

Thanks! It’s pretty confusing how every so often an entry time will be SCM (even though those swimmers have LCM entry times available) and they don’t even point that out so it’s like “oh why is this random person I’ve never heard of the fastest seed by 2 seconds”

They should’ve only accepted LCM times for seeding and left anyone without an LCM time unseeded.

The CBC website makes it fairly easy even with the cheapest VPN.
