Winter Olympics

[Sniffer]

The online coverage mirrors that on the TV in that when the change channels the online stream changes too. It happened again today on the curling which I paused. Luckily I wasn’t too far behind so the result wasn’t known or the game finished.

Well done Matt Weston. The first British individual male gold medal in the Winter Olympics since Robin Cousins in 1980!

I’m loving the snowboarding. I don’t understand any of the terms the commentators use though

 

[Sniffer]

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

Not since the American giants hoovered up the majority of the rights. The BBC has restrictions on how much it can show.

Petition to call right footed footballers "normal" and left footed footballers "goofy"

Only allowed two streams.

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

I meant they showed exactly the same thing that they replaced the live hockey with, again on the main BBC channel again three hours later.

Penny drops when she starts her run in the women’s halfpipe mate. I’m getting the hang of it.

I had to make all those hours on SSX Tricky pay dividends eventually!

What can I say, I'm a bit dumb.
Also as a left handed person I'm feeling a bit disrespected fucking goofy

Oh, Ilia, my little heart

This is Donald Trump's fault. Somehow.

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.

I gave up and now watching the ice hockey on US/Canada streams.

Goofy is as offensive as cack-handed.

Fucking righty wankers. It's bad enough that guitars cost more and scissors don't bloody work without chucking insults around.

Tuned in late for this event and didn’t see one competitor stay upright!

I adore the Giant Slalom but it's such a shame that the back half of the field may as well ski a different course.

Holy cold precipitation, a tie for gold right now!

 

[Sniffer]

Gold for Britain the mixed snowboard cross.

 

[Sniffer]

Guaranteed a medal in the team skeleton.

 

[Sniffer]

GOLD!!!
