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...

    • In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system.    The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did.    The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.
