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

 

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. :p

Morning is fine too, like Pyeongchang :p 

 

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 :d 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 :p )

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...:rofl::facepalm:

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...:facepalm:

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) :woohoo:

 

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...:d

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

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:::

    • on a podium in pairs for the first time since 1957!
    • Hmm, but where were these people 2 or 3 years ago? They probably don't even know what is a Division 1A at the Hockey World Championships?
    • Is Finoro a significant reinforcement? The rest of the squad is very weak and lost heavily to Great Britain at the last World Championship Div. 1 A. I'm worried about our disaster in Milan in this squad and form  In Turin 2006 it wasn't that bad, but we simply had a stronger team.
    • Pairs Event     The pairs event will kick-off in the second-half of the contest at the beginning of the third session. It will involve nations from the teams eliminated from the team competition after the first 2 sessions.   There will be 8 pairs participating so in addition to the 12 eliminated nations from the team event (13 in the event that the 4 nation team are eliminated), the remaining 3 or 4 places will be awarded to the lowest ranked nations individually who are still in the team event.   All rankings will be taken from the halfway stage (end of session 2).   Pairs will be formed by ranking the 16 participating nations and balancing them as follows: Highest ranked nation of the 16 will be paired with the lowest ranked of the 16. 2nd ranked will be paired with the 15th. 3rd ranked will be paired with the 14th, and so on in this fashion....     The format will mimic a madison cycling event. There will be 6 sprints in total (5 intermediate sprints and a final sprint). The intermediate sprints each will run over the course of 3 rounds of voting. For example:   Sprint 1 (votes from the 18th-20th juries) Sprint 2 (votes from the 21st-23rd juries) Sprint 3 (votes from the 24th-26th juries) Sprint 4 (votes from the 27th-29th juries) Sprint 5 (votes from the 30th-32nd juries)   There will then be a final sprint which will be worth double points and will consider the votes from the 33rd and 34th juries. How sprint points are won?? The 8 pairs will be ranked after each sprint is completed by the following criteria in order of importance:   - total medals won - gold medals won - silver medals won - bronze medals won - points won - highest point value from a single jury   Therefore, the pair that won the most total medals during that sprint will be ranked highest. If there is a tie for total medals, the pair with the most gold wins, then most silvers, then most, bronze medals.   If there is still a tie we then consider how many points the pair won during that sprint.     After each sprint, the highest ranked teams will be awarded points as follows:   - 1st ranked = 5 points - 2nd ranked = 3 points - 3rd ranked = 2 points -4th ranked = 1 point       Bonus points: Pairs will win 5 bonus points every time both pairs win medals from a single jury. Pairs will win 2 bonus points every time both pairs win points from a single jury. Pairs that win 5 bonus points for medal doubles, cannot also claim points doubles in the same vote, i.e. they won't receive 5 and 2 points, they will just receive 5 points.     In the event of a tie in the overall standings after each sprint, the pair that finished highest ranked in the most recent sprint will be ranked higher. Therefore, if there is a tie in the overall standings at the end of the competition, the pair that finished highest in the final sprint will be ranked higher overall.
