Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony

DD Sports is perhaps the only television channel that will telecast live the Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, 2008. The live telecast of the Olympic Closing Ceremony will begin at 5:30 pm IST. If so far you have been able to digest whatever DD Sports has been offering for public consumption, then perhaps the Olympics Closing Ceremony would interest you?

Himanshu Dhawan and Biju Babu Cyriac wrote an interesting article in today's Times of India that highlights Doordarshan's shortcomings as far as live coverage of the Olympics is concerned. The journalists claim that prior to the beginning of the repachage round, the DD comentator introduced Sushil Kumar as the Bronze medal winner! Well, Himanshu and Biju, give that commentator a break and let's seek his opinion on how we'll fare in the next Olympics. The DD commentator can make a great soothsayer. Haha!!

Tune in to DD Sports at 5:30 pm to watch the Closing Ceremony of Beijing Olympics, 2008.
