The problem is rather that it is ONLY 2 weeks And people seem to think that watching all night and half day means you don't sleep, but if you don't have obligations like work and such, you'll still be perfectly able to sleep the same amount of time as always .

Olympionikes 27 Posted July 6, 2021 #22 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I take three weeks off for the olympic games since I work so I begin in 2010 for Vancouver, before I was student so that was easy to watch the more that I can. For this games it will be nearly 2am to nearly 5pm all day, and it will be a great pleasure. Since London we are able to watch all the events so right now my work is counting how much event will take place at the same moment and having the right number of screen set up. In Rio and Pyeongchang we can have 4 events by windows with a split screen. I hope this is the same this year like this I can watch the more olympic action to feed me to next one. hckošice, heywoodu and Braulio 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agger 1,662 Posted July 6, 2021 #24 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I've taken the first week off meaning that I'll be nocturnal 25th-1st (I'll be at a wedding on the 23rd. Guess I won't be able to catch everything on day one). Then I have to make it work out in the last week. However I still don't have a job meaning I'll be at home. Guess I can get some time for the Olympics there as well but won't be able to go full time Olympics fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braulio 139 Posted July 6, 2021 #25 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I am glad there are many other hardcore olympic fanatics like me In my case, with the Olympics I always try to accomodate my vacations to watch the Summer Olympics, I did that for Athens, Beijing and the second week of London 2012 Since 2013 I have been in a different situation where my actual working conditions give me the benefit of having at my own pace/time as far as I met the deadlines and add that given I live in Pacific Time Zone the schedule for Rio was totally friendly (just had to wake up around 5:00 AM) for Sochi I had the chance to watch the sports I follow almost live during early morning and for Pyeongchang the sports started around 5:00 PM and ran until 6:00 AM, but I only watched for 5:00 PM to midnight, went to sleep and later during the day catch up with whatever happened while I was sleeping. I am benefited of living in the north american border with USA so I get NBC and of course the arranged schedule they always get for prime coverage This will apply for the Tokyo, Beijing games. For me, the Olympics in Tokyo will run from 5:00 PM again until 6:00 AM next day. So basically I will have almost the same experience like in 2018 even though many more sports to follow. But I decided to watch the main sports I follow and those were mexican athletes have options and wont watch or try to remain with no spoilers for many sports that I will try to catch up AFTER the games are over. Last time during Rio trying to watch every sport for the medal decisive matches/moments was waaaaaaay too much and I ended exhausted! So this time I will probably download the sessions of sports like wrestling, karate, team sports, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, judo and will watch them days after the games are over so I can cope with the olympic withdrawals.

Triplecast 156 Posted July 6, 2021 #26 Share Posted July 6, 2021 In the Eastern US, I'll be living the nocturnal life, with things starting at about 7-8 PM and going to 9:00AM the next morning, and then try sleeping from about 930AM to 600PM I already have the 2 weeks off from work, To try and adjust quickly, I'll get up at about 5-6AM on July 23, then trying to take a long nap in the afternoon, following the Opening Ceremony.

I am scared about the first 5 days, i'm in mexico for a vacation, so i'll try to VPN to connect to my nbcolympics account, and just catch up when i'm back, essentailly since those streams will stay up until at least january 1st there is plenty of time to catch up on stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
