Thank you!  Glad to be here.  Been looking for a forum online for discussion the Olympics and Olympic sports.  Looks like I'm in the right place!

 

I'm actually from NYC.  The "Quaker2001" name is a reference to where and when I went to school.  I am indeed in the media.  As I told another poster, I actually worked for NBC once upon a time, including working in Salt Lake at the Olympics in 2002.  Definitely one of the more fun sports experiences of my life!

Nice to see you here ! I am assuming you are the same person from GB?

You assume correctly.  I think I asked someone over there to tell me if there was a forum that's more Olympics than Olympic bidding.  This looks like exactly what I'm looking for!

Definitely in the right place. What do you do media wise? I’d love to work an Olympics (I’ll be in Tokyo as a “freelance”, though I run my own publication)

I work mostly as a video editor and schedule supervisor now.  Wait until you see what I've got cooking up for this summer.  For the 2018 Olympics, I did a big spreadsheet in Google docs with all the event schedules plus the TV coverage.  Trying to do something similar for Tokyo.

I may also provide a very similar service for the forum :cool:. I do more video archive/replay lists though. Olympic Channel eliminated all my fun for the 2020 Winter YOG by posting their own schedule for streaming :p (I’d still love to work for them though)

Welcome @Dnl! I decided I should probably give you a proper welcome since you seem to be a active user (which we love)

      I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.

      If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.

      Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
