Even the Brits looked good. Must have found a dentist in Sochi before the games began.

Well given the 12 hour difference for PST, kind of understandable.
Plus people have to work during the day.

Anyways I watch most of the stuff live with the NBC live extra app.


Now the tape delay for Vancouver was uncalled for.


And some things are aired live, just on the NBC sister channels.

CBC Canada airs everything live and again in Prime Time.

Then again they don't have to air The Bold & The Beautiful and General Hospital during the day.

Nether of those shows are on NBC... j/k


NBC is trying, they are using a lot of their cable channels USA, NBCSports, MSNBC and a couple others. But it's still not as good as live. Hell last time in Canada with just a three hour difference, and it was still hard to find.

They are not doing a good job letting people know when events are on. When they talk about events on NBC, they don't really tell you when/what the other channels are carrying.

Anyone who complains of spoilers in this thread is a moron. This is the olympic thread, people are discussing the olympics. If you are trying to avoid hearing about olympic results, opening a thread that is specifically about what you don't want to hear is not a smart idea.

Maybe a mod should change miz's thread title again to point out to people that there will be spoilers. That could kill 2 birds with one stone, the people who think they can read about the olympics without actually finding out about the olympics would be reminded they can't and we could get miz's panties in a bunch over the thread title change (again).

I'd already knew the results before I even came in here. My point was perhaps we should give people perhaps five minutes to find out on their own.

Which goes back to the original point - it's nearly impossible not to find out results of a sporting competition. There's no point of saving airing (for most) until prime time.

It seems like the USA athletes, at least the names, to this point have been a major disappointment.

With Shaun White and Shani Davis not winning there signature events Bode Miller still has a chance.

Good showing overall so far for Team U.S.A.

Netherlands has been a surprise.
