Is it live nowadays? Or still that weird stuff of not showing things live but only on 'good' times for American people?  

 

naaa...now it's live because they forced the competitions to actually start at good US TV times (like swimming finals at 10 p.m. in Rio and at 10 a.m. in Tokyo)...

Which is still better than having the arrogance to simply not show things live and wait for 'the good time'

I agree...even if I don't like this kind of arrogance, too...

The last Olympics (2018) they pretty much got rid of that, save the opening ceremonies, and used delayed replays of things they already showed during prime time. However, they have all the IOC live-streams available on their app and website. Plus, they cover every medal event on TV. They haven’t announced to many details about their Tokyo 2020 coverage yet though

Well, that works out for my time zone, so I’m happy

Any news about YT or Olympic Channel streaming? Probably not.

I would give up on You Tube (though some African/Central Asian/Latin American channels may stream there). I would imagine that Olympic Channel will post all replays about 3-6 months later like Pyeongchang 2018.

Not anymore I think.. Especially it's the Summer Olympics.

 

During Pyeongchang 2018 IOC just randomly let Indian subcontinent able to stream via YouTube and Olympic Channel.
