The BBC's coverage of the Olympics has come under fire once again from angry viewers, with some lamenting it as 'pitiful' after growing tired of a lack of live sports, constant highlights and too much talking from TV hosts.
The Tokyo Games has offered up shocks and thrills all weekend - with Team GB sealing three gold medals on 'Mega Monday', but some have been left dismayed by the coverage being offered by the broadcaster and aired their frustration online.
The broadcaster is only permitted to show two sports at a time during the Olympics this summer due to licensing arrangements - one through a TV channel and another on the red button.

But their decision to show highlights of a rugby sevens match instead of live Team GB women's hockey game was criticised, with the Beeb failing to take up their ability to even show more than one live event on that occasion.
'You do realise this game was on at the very reasonable time of 0830 am UK time,' wrote one angry fan.
'You could've shown it live instead... Honestly can't belief how p*ss poor this coverage is. Been watching for 2 hours and seen exactly zero live events.'
Another agreed about the lack of live action and suggested the BBC were too eager to show repeats of Team GB athletes performing and speaking to the media - with Tom Daley and Matty Lee's triumph being circulated a number of times.

'Anyone know of any free to view places showing the Olympics? The BBC's coverage is pitiful,' the user wrote. 'Good on Team GB, but let us watch other sports taking place instead of repeating the same few things 100 times.'
