Winter Olympics

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

The skiathlon looks brutal Crazy bastards!

I wasn't sure if it was a race or if they were just doing a ski conga...

Wish they’d figure out a way to drown out the high pitch whine of the drones following the athletes.

If they do can they employ it when Vicki Sparks is commentating?

Love the Winter Olympics. Been out all day, but no probs as the BBC have loads of highlight packages…

Oh, cheers, on almost every highlight icon it tells me the result before I watch it. I mean, who the fck designs that stuff?! Surely no one who enjoys watching sport on TV? Cut it out you killjoys!!!

The British lad (Appleby?) who performed in the Short Program figure skate yesterday was really good relative to how our commentary presented him (not that they were shading him or anything).

Czechia officially on my shit list. Using a fucking “AI” song in the Rhythm Dance

 

[Mel Evo]

They’re still telling me who wins the event I’m trying to watch the highlights of before I can press start on the iPlayer. Why do they do it?! Aggghhh! I’m one of the Likely Lads trying to avoid the score before I watch the cup final FFS.

Showing your lack of age. It was England v Bulgaria. Luckily for you I can't see the Winter Olympics being called off for waterlogging

Get in. I have a lack of age. It’s downhill from here today.

 

[Mel Evo]

Also… I’m enjoying the games, but does the world really need the double luge? Britain would be on the medal table if there was a category where you jump in / on a bin bag at the top, so I’d get rid of the double luge and replace it with that.

 

[BillyDee]

Double luge is just... weird. I get jumping on your mates sledge when you're going down the hill at the marshes when you were a kid, but... doing it competively, like that... it's weird...

IOC are just another bunch of cunts like FIFA

You can write into BBC Points of View...

Doesn’t fit with embracing my lack of age.

I just tried squinting so I couldn’t read the words, but then I end up selecting entire reruns of six hours of women’s ice hockey. And I’ve got a limit as to how much Ice sport I can take.

Yay, a gold for GB! I particularly like the speed events, hopefully a couple more medals later in the games.

I bitched about the BBC yesterday with the ice hockey and they went and did the same again just after lunchtime today. Showed the first two periods of Finland v Sweden then didn't show the third, instead showed something that happend four hours earlier instead. They then showed exactly the same thing on BBC one about three hours later.

I'm beginning to think it's mandated by Discovery/TNT that they're not allowed to show the whole game.

Do they not have coverage of every event live on iplayer?

Even the second showing doesn't include the 3rd period?? That's absolutely crazy to me.
