***2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina) Thread***

Dog **** coverage. The insane amount of commercials compared to coverage is pathetic, and then they hype up the mixed doubles curling final and show the beginning only to cut it for 10 minutes of commercials and then put on figure skating. **** NBC. I’m not buying your streaming service.
 
Both channels covering the Olympics now has the same thing airing. This is by far, the worst coverage of the Olympics I have ever seen.
I was jumping back and forth on channels on YouTube TV and could be mistaken, but yesterday evening I swear the same channel showed the same curling match (Italy/USA mixed doubles semifinal) twice in the same ~hour, separated by a few minutes of luge.

The US played Italy twice on Monday -- the last game of round-robin, followed by the semifinal. Both of those matches aired back-to-back Monday night.

They did. Then in the ladies Luge they only showed Germany and USA, totally ignoring the luger from Lithuania(?) that snuck into 3rd. It is sad coverage.

Those drones following the athletes are right out of Phantasm. They got that irritating buzz and expect the forks to appear.
 
Some good info for men’s hockey starting up and the fact that there are only a couple of these NHL players that have ever played in the Olympics.
