well, now we can choose thanks to Eurosport Player, but until the last time...God bless Slovak TV, because it was the only option in the world to watch Slalom Canoeing qualification runs...:p

 

by the way, I see that your schedule will be a lot more interesting than the Rai TV's in Italy (will we see anything else than our Volleyball team, Swimming and Cycling if no Italians are fighting for the medals in the other sports? I don't think so...:finger: :facepalm: and in case, it would be those boring things like Dressage, Tennis and/or Gymnastics prelims, which is even worse :nopompom:)...

 

so, don't underestimate the Slovak TV...you could get something a lot worse than that...:whistle: :rofl:

Wait, your national broadcaster shows sports during the Olympics? :yikes:

Honest question: why do you even bother looking at what's on Rai (which this time is rectricted to having only 1 channel showing the Olympics and so of course will have to jump between sports trying to entertain the general public) if you have a gazillion streaming subscriptions, satellite channels and devices? Leave it to those of us who only have access to public tv ( or at best have another screen with Eurosport Player on, when their apps decide to work) to complain if necessary.

 

P.S: I believe Rio 2016 with full tv rights owned by Rai (tv+streams with very good platform/apps who worked well on all devices) was the best edition ever to follow the Games for >90% of Italians who are not willing to pay the hundreds of euros per year that Sky wanted.

because most people (who aren't hardcore sports fans) only watch the Olympics on the rai (free) channels...

 

and if most people can't watch the most beautiful and exciting sports there, how could we ever hope to increase the fan base on one side and, more important, the number of youngsters practicing some sports if they don't even know their existence?

 

sure, for what concerns myself I can even deny the existence of the Italian TV...I have 100 options to satisfy my desire and my taste, but we can't only look all the times exclusively at our personal interest...

 

so, I'd really like to see our National broadcaster showing all the most important sport events with the best possible coverage on the TV channels (and full coverage online through a dedicated app, possibly not as messy as Eurosport Player), doing what they are supposed to do...the public service...:evil:

 

p.s. Rio 2016 rai's online streams weren't even available on a dedicated app on TV screens (they were only for PC and mobile devices) and had an oscene 576p picture quality...

I wouldn't call that a "wonderful viewing experience" (it was the best ever only because it was the first time the people had the chance to choose what they wanted to watch...but that's all (and it's not enough to me)...

I hope Eurosport Player's service will be better this time, but I fear they will find the way to mess it up with the streams quality and a few spoilers here and there...:mumble:

Honestly I watched lots of, for example, field hockey on tv - Rai2 if I'm not mistaken, not streaming- on tv during Rio 2016, but you can't expect them to prioritize it against an Italian who is fighting for a medal (even in a sport you don't like) this time with Eurosport/Discovery having full rights... and I think you are bigly exaggerating as always because, in fact, you do not watch it- i'll count the number of sports they will show at least one hour of and it will be probably close to the maximum

How many young people watch TV instead of stuff on their mobile devices though? :p 

 

If you truly want to reach young people, one might assume 30-second highlight videos on TikTok might be enough..

in Italy there are still many youngsters watching traditional free tv channels...;)

 

don't forget that we're the last Nation in the European Union for what concerns the digital development (even if we are also the Country with the highest number of active mobile phones per person in the entire continent)...

Hm, it looks like for the first time in many years (maybe since 2004?) the Hungarian TV will only have one channel dedicated to the Games. We usually had two for the Summer Games, but now only M4 Sport has Olympic events listed. It's not the end of the world, we will have three channels overall (M4 Sport, Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2), which is more than what we had for Rio because Eurosport didn't have the rights.

Also, lol, M4 Sport has the Archery ranking rounds listed as a live broadcast on Day 0. I wonder if they forgot that the ranking rounds never have a live feed. (or maybe they will get a live feed this year?) 

 

And unsurprisingly they aren't listing the softball matches on the first two days despite the fact that they don't have anything else to broadcast live at that time. :lol:

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
