Correct

This middle of the night waking up is a real pain, but especially when reading that the DH has been postponed.

Fuck, it's now a 2 hours delay. This doesn't look good at all.

Well, I still remember when the Nagano biathlon sprint was interrupted by a blizzard so it can always get worse

Oh yeah. One of my first Winter Olympic experiences. As far as I remember the sprint was cancelled during the race due to heavy fog and restarted the next day. Staying up early for that cancelled race, watching Curling instead

Providing a ton of reliable TV coverage throughout the entire Olympics was actually one of the arguments the WCF used to convince the IOC to add curling xD

It seems that it worked :D I remember that a LOT of curling was broadcasted in German TV over the nights when lots of delays struck the TV schedule. Although the German teams lost all matches (at least what I remember) I learned a lot about this sport and well, I still enjoy it.
