Maybe that is only one main channel, and OC will offer one or more others as well...

or maybe I am still believing in fairy tales

We're going to believe - or at the very least hope - in fairytales together man. Seeing this schedule gave me a shitty start of the day, I was/am really looking forward to seeing those sports that aren't on there..

That was posted by the OC. It seems pretty concrete. I’m 90% certain that’s all they’ll show live. I’m hoping for three possible scenarios 1) the streaming schedule is amended 2) some events are upload as full replays 3) Swiss/French TV choose to broadcast more events. I’d say there’s a 50% chance of any of those three happening.

They're going to livestream freaking medal ceremonies every day, but can't be bothered to stream winter classics like biathlon or cross country skiing? I had significantly higher hopes for a Youth Olympics in Switzerland.

While technically streaming more, they’re actually streaming less in my opinion. Almost every sport was shown in 2016, and quite enjoyed it. There won’t be much to enjoy this time around as I’m not a huge fan of figure skating. Curling and Ice Hockey are cool, but they’re not my favorites. At least I have slopestyle and short track.

I think Eurosport/Discovery has some rights for Europe, as for the "adult" Olympics. We should see more through Player or in the official broadcasters. BTW - I have nothing against watching more curling

Not if last year was any indication, Eurosport had zero for the Youth Olympics. I think we're overestimating how many broadcasters are interested in showing something like this.

And yes, not much against curling, but I find it highly unfair to have so much attention for it (and figure skating and ice hockey) when a boatload of core Olympic sports are entirely ignored, literally.

Ice Hockey is the winter Olympics core and phare sport.

One of them, yes. I didn't say all core sports were ignored, since arguably number one, alpine skiing, is being streamed It's just pathetic they ignore so much.
