OlympicsFan 782 Posted January 9, 2020 #513 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Is there any way to watch alpine skiing tomorrow? Thanks! Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 782 Posted January 9, 2020 #516 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Does anyone have any clue who the favorites will be in alpine skiing? Never heard of any of those athletes ...

Not the Olympic Channel’s call. Then and the OBS are too separate entities. OBS is the host broadcaster for these games, and they decided what they wanted to show. By far the biggest failure of YOG, is lack of broadcasting. I like what they do have, but I’d like to ski Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing, and other sports as well. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Never heard of any of those athletes ... For most sports I could give you an answer, but for Alpine Skiing I’m in the dark. If that girl from hadn’t been injured, she would have been the heavy favorite. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,474 Posted January 9, 2020 Author #519 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Another sad thing to note is that the Olympia Bobrun has a live-streaming service, but the OBS has told them they cannot broadcast the events. I’d be cool with that, if the Olympic Channel was allowed to use broadcast that footage, but no. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
