Modern Pentathlon

Alexander Parygin, who won Olympic gold in Atlanta while competing for Kazakhstan, was initially due to be Australia's only male competitor in the modern pentathlon. His qualification was overturned "on technical grounds" by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, when the Modern Pentathlon Association of Great Britain argued that he had failed to meet "eligibility criteria of 5,100 points at the relevant international competition, during the Olympic qualification period".^[26] Specifically, Parygin qualified for Beijing during a competition which lacked the equestrian event.^[27] ^[28] There being no avenue of appeal, Parygin will not compete in Beijing.^[29]

Angie Darby will make her Olympic debut as the only Australian female in the competition.^[30] Darby having qualified in the same conditions as Parygin, her participation in the Games is currently open to question.^[31]

Media coverage

In Australia, both the Seven Network and SBS TV will be broadcasting the games. Live web video streaming of selected events will be provided by Yahoo!7. Radio Station 2GB in Sydney holds the Radio rights through the Seven Network, broadcasting Exclusively in Sydney, while in other capitals commercial partners are joined by the ABC providing Radio coverage. Additionally, Telstra is allowing the games to be viewed on 3G mobile phones via the Next G network.

An estimated eight million viewers in Australia watched the televised broadcast of the Opening Ceremony, the largest number ever, including the 2000 Sydney Olympics.^[49] Seven was the only network to televise the Opening Ceremony in Australia.

Seven has been criticised for broadcasting Australian Football League games in lieu of Olympic events with Australian athletes in contention for medals, as well as for their coverage in general.^[50]^[51] The network cited existing contractual obligations for their AFL scheduling.^[52] In addition, the AFL has made concessions to Seven to allow more Olympics coverage to be broadcast.^[53]
