Both ski jumping competitions on Day 1 have been moved forward an hour from their original time.

 

The men's Super G on Sunday was pushed back 1 1/2 hours from the original start time.

The IOC has the participation statistics at 78 NOCs and 1,802 athletes. Assuming all athletes/NOCs take part, we'll have one less NOC, but more athletes, than Lausanne 2020.

Alpine Skiing not being broadcast is really annoying considering that’s where the majority of NOCs will have a representative

Honestly, any sport not being broadcast is an IOC fuck-up that's truly beyond belief. Don't market an event as a big deal if nobody is going to be able to really watch it anyway. A massive majority of sports fans (in countries where winter sports are significant) won't even have any clue the whole thing is going on in the next weeks. God knows it won't make any news here.

Yes, luge is underway (live-timing works great) and ski jumping has entered the trial round.

There's a storm making its way across the Korean peninsula today. Snowy and breezy conditions at the ski jump, so could shake stuff up for the women's competition.

Yep, definitely seems like we'll see some zeros in the women's normal hill (unless they change some factors).  also looks to be a DNS
