Opening ceremony LIVE on Eurosport Player it seems. More about events of first day in 24h.

Just for clarification, it’s not live currently. It will be shown on the 9th.

I just read on the news that Iran will send 6 athletes (3 boys 3 girls) to the YOG,  it will be the biggest delegation ever for Iran in any kind of Winter Olympics :lol:

 

and in the article I read, the journalist asked about what's the point of participation in Winter sports when Iran didn't improve even an inch after decades of just participating ?! and I'm kind of agree with that. while most of winter sports don't even exist here but at least Alpine, Cross-country and snowboard have a long history here. specially Alpine skiing.

 

most countries never have snow so they have valid reasons to never achieve anything in winter sports but that's not the case here, the thing is nobody cares about winter sports so why bother to participate ?

 

but still I wish the best of luck for those 6 young athletes. hopefully they won't finish last here :d

I believe Iran will be participating in Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, and Ski Mountaineering. Iranian participation is always welcome.

Better than we're getting here.  I have seen absolutely no mention of the Games anywhere by NBCUniversal.  Even TV guide listings don't have the coverage mentioned, although the US version of Olympic Channel does have it in their program listings.  Looks like it will be a 2 hour window for the Opening Ceremony with 3 hour nightly windows during the games, so that's certainly an improvement over 4 years ago.

Full live coverage available on OC (online platform) and YouTube in the US.

Isn't the ceremony exactly on 9th?

Yes, but your post made it sound like it was live then, and it wasn’t :d

Just because I used a tendency of decreasing the role of future tenses and use present tense while meaning the future...

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
