We are looking for results feeds, specifically major sporting events such as the olympics, World cup etc. We would ideally like the data to be in an XML format.

Non specific stuff like the bbc offer are not going to work.

Anyone able to help?

Cheers

The telegraph website is entirely written in XML, perhaps you could just pinch it

Our initial thought was to use varous sites to get the data, especially as sprts results a public domain so there will be no copyright issues (as long as we take none of their copy). However it is an arse working out the formatting, a direct feed would be much better.

But good idea none the less
