Is there somewhere on iPlayer you can watch earlier Olympic coverage from the same or previous days? Preferably the same day, do they put it up some hours later?

I use this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/...results/list/20120803

Change the date to the one you want and watch by clicking on the yellow "Catch up" against each event.

there's this http://www.bbc.co.uk/...v/categories/olympics which seems to be mostly highlights

there's always the official channel on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/olympic which looks to be much more comprehensive

There is also a lot of stuff on the BBC news page

Thanks everyone, having known when the boxing was on (obviously) I iPlayered the previous episode and fast forwarded (they're 2-4 hours long mainly) but then wanted to watch all the events I'd missed by name. I checked the timetable but the coverage wasn't anything like it so will check the Youtube service now, sounds like the best bet. Seems the subscribe box didn't hook up or I'd have returned sooner.

One more thing... The BBC site (in addition to the one I used on cable TV) doesn't have everything on the menu, specifically the two I missed, javelin and discus. I didn't see any mention of the decathlon either, although we didn't have anyone with a chance it would have been nice to have had better coverage of it. Youtube has the lot but such abbreviated clips it's almost like watching the news...
