Popcorn for what? Having the Olympics mostly in the night is awesome 

 

And yet the most of it will be in the morning European time... And at the same time.

 

At this point I'm honestly hoping for morning swimming finals.

Morning is fine too, like Pyeongchang  

 

I mean, I like when it starts anywhere between 23:00 and 01:00, generally speaking, because then most of the sports day is in a time when at least here there won't be people awake asking for your attention  Plus when it's over halfway in the afternoon, that leaves plenty of time for stuff like stocking up in the supermarket, which is hard when the Olympics are in Europe (since then the supermarkets are closed outside of the sports hours  )

Hey i enjoyed it being at 8PM  off course i'm a minority, but still it's gonna be awesome

 

I understand your point of view...and I'd love to have them at 8 p.m. here (in Central Europe), too...

the main problem is that 8 p.m. in the USA, here is something from 2 to 5 a.m. (depending on where you live, East Coast, Central US or West Coast)...

so, I guess they won't be able to make both of us happy...and I don't know why? I think there are lots more chances that you'll get the best start time...

[phelps 7,675]

personally, my best Olympic time window is the US East Coast time (Rio too was almost perfect)...

I like taking afternoon, evening and night to watch the Games, then going to sleep around 5/6 a.m. until 10 a.m. and still having the late morning hours to manage my own affairs...

meanwhile I've never liked the Far East Olympics...those times are very uncomfortable to me...

Just like in Rio. That was awesome, on the major Dutch forum the only people watching and posting were people actually interested in the sports instead of people who don't care and just come to troll (which happens a lot when it's during daytime)

 

Still hate the fact that I'm being mocked for the 200m breaststroke though. One guy asked "who's the favourite for this race?", I answered "Everyone but Balandin."......couple minutes later, Balandin won the gold.

to be honest, I don't care about forums that much during the Olympics...I prefer to focus on the competitions (and generally in those days I have both PC and TV running pictures from the Games venues rather than writing on some forum)...

there's so much time to discuss after the Games are over...just in case...

For me, half of my sports-watching fun comes from discussing stuff with other fans, preferably live

Rio times were perfect, the good old days

I'm a morning.man, Sidney's time was very good for me: get up at 5.00, a look at night's events, and then all live. Rio was a little bit too late. The drama will be LA:::
