Channel 10's coverage here in Australia will be piss poor, you can count on it.

Indeed. The website is shit, the tv coverage will be shit, and the streaming will be terrible. Can't say enough bad things about Winter Olympics coverage in Australia. It has been terrible since TV started. Unless you like figure skating. Then they seem to cover every single event perfectly. Well, the last mob did, but I doubt 10 will be veering too far away from that.

Makes the decision to not watch most of it even easier.

channel 10 just had a bunch of cricket clowns on their winter olympic show for some insane reason. also an australian snowboard commentator said one of the NZ female snowboarders was "leaning back like fat joe" which was the best single thing i've ever heard a commentator say.
 
edit: Here are the complete results from the men and women's slopestyle qualifier. The ones in green were the 4 best in their heat and are directly qualified to the finals, while the ones in white will have qualify through the semifinals. The 4 best from the semifinals will qualify.

Scandinavia and Canada dominating the mens final roster so far. Looking at the list, dropping the heats and simply having the best 8 qualify directly to the finals might be a better way of doing it, imo. Then having the semifinals to decide the four final contestants.

Thank you for the first pic in the OP. Went to the NBC site to look up curling times, entered a world where web pages take five seconds to scroll after you move the mouse wheel. I can't even find any videos that could explain it, I'll just assume NBC is continuing on their ridiculousness from last time.

I just found out today who is representing Canada in curling today. Was surprised to see Brad Jacobs, but he's been solid so he should do us proud.

Subbed. The time difference will make it rough but I will support our athletes despite the stupidness that surrounds these games.

NBCOlympics.com is such a piece of shit site. I'm trying to look up two female skiers that went to my high school and the sort doesn't function at all. The second I scroll down, everything resets.

The streaming site is total shit too. I cannot see a schedule of what they will be streaming. Do they not test this stuff at all?

Women's ski jumping at the olympics at last.

Haven't followed any winter sport recently so I will look forward seeing athletes soar through the air, race down hills and scrub floors like champions.

I just hope nothing bad happens.
