Think the replays aren't on youtube, they're on the Olympic channels site (which is shit, and apparently you can't cast to your TV from it). I mean, picking "sports climbing" (shudder) from the list of sports doesn't bring it up, searching for "bouldering" doesn't work, I had to search for Meiringen to find the vids. Not watched them tbh, but here you go:

Edit, Chris beat me to it

It's also shite how you can't do any easy skipping forwards or backwards on their video like you can for youtube.
 
I've watched some of it via Olympic channel and was able to cast to TV (using a chromecast) although could only get it to full screen using their app rather than website.
You can skip backwards and forwards but you have to press pause and then play after moving along the time for it to work.
 
The semi’s and the finals, mens and womens are on the Eurosport Iplayer. They are being repeated on the scheduled programmes as well as being available on demand.
 
Just watching the "highlights" of the Men's final and it's a complete shambles. Missed out two of the competitors on the first problem because of adverts even though IT'S THE FUCKING HIGHLIGHTS!!!!

What a shit show...
 
Total noob about VPN stuff but finally decided I can't bear it any longer. Can someone signpost me to a decent provider? Best value etc? Is there only one?
 
PrivadoVPN has 10 gb free per month, so they almost surely mine your traffic and sell it on. If you are fine with that it allows you to watch the world cup for free.

Otherwise more reputable providers like NordVPN or ExpressVPN might give you a three month trial?
 
This has been said a few times above already but many people still seem to be missing it:

THE FULL FEEDS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE ON THE OLYMPIC CHANNEL.

The only difference to last year is that the feeds aren’t uploaded until a day after the event. So unless you want to watch the comps live you don’t need to piss about with VPNs etc.
 
Theres plenty, but lots of people use NordVPN.
Free ones will be selling data on your traffic.

Stu:

true, but once I know the results I find myself completely uninterested, and IG makes it almost impossible to avoid finding out
 
Sports should be watched live, otherwise we would just re-watch this over and over (especially the marathon bit towards the end)

the olympic channel also makes it almost impossible to find the video without finding the results. last comp was ruined searching for it in the olympic website, the comp before i tried to google the video at the olympic channel, also gave the results first.

Yeah they are but it's not live and they're really difficult to find, and as Duma said it's hard to avoid seeing the result beforehand even if you don't have Instagram. For example last weekend I was hoping to watch the SLC first round so went on the Olympics website, searched for climbing and was immediately presented with the result!

Best way I think is to do a Google video search, and go to it directly from there.

Edit: finbarr beat me to it
 
Anyone found the stream for yesterday's men's comp available anywhere? Just tried looking on the Olympics site and couldn't find it.
 
It may well be late, but also maybe it's uploaded 24 hrs after the conclusion, not the start? So worth checking back at 8:30 ish?

(I'm probably being too forgiving, it wouldn't be at all surprising if it just isn't up for no good reason)
 
Women's final is now on the Olympics site but still missing the Men's ::)
