IOC: The Olympiad program is not subject to review

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is not going to pay attention to the protests of European television people who object to the early start of the finals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

This was reported to the Sports Sports Information Agency by the IOC press service.

“The schedule of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing is fully compiled, approved and is not subject to revision,” the IOC press service said. “We consider the current situation around the Olympiad in European countries to call conflict, it’s rather a misunderstanding. Yes, European television people want the finals to take place in the evening, at the very rating, however, however, however, however After all, the interests of the audience in other countries of the world are always ready for a compromise, but in this case our position is unchanged-the schedule is signed, the athletes are preparing for a certain start of the competition, and we are not going to change anything within the Peking Olympiad. Each athlete will start at a time known now. "

Recall that the IOC decided that the finals in sports gymnastics and swimming, contrary to the prevailing practice, will begin in the morning so that American viewers could see them. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) expressed dissatisfaction with this decision and even ready to begin the lawsuit.
