I've been watching a lot of the games. Being in the same time zone as NBC's precious has its perks. Loved watching the Jacobellis fail and the Ledecka surprise live. Tonight, I'm staying at my mother's because she wants to watch the ice dancing at tomorrow morning is our debut in Olympic skating. Hoping for a top 20 placing.

From around 20.00 to around 01.30 so far in week 1 of the Olympics, with sometimes 1-2 hours in those empty hours in the European morning :d 

 

that was more or less my schedule during the Beijing Olympics (actually it was more 23 p.m. to 2.30/3 a.m.)...

and probably it will be the same in 2 years time for the Tokyo Games...

during the Rio Games, instead, it was a lot easier...O used to go to sleep at about 5/5.30 a.m. until about 10 a.m.

 

these Winter Games, on the other hand, are not giving me enough motivation to change my daily schedue too much, so I normally wake up a little earlier than usual and stop.

I only gave up my sleeping last Thursday night (there were too many events to get back in track during the late morning and the afternoon)...

tomorrow, instead, it will be like the Olympics aren't even running...there are just a couple of interesting events (to me, of course) and both of them are at 1 p.m. :facepalm::wall:

Well there are only three medal events during the entire day, and they still managed to make it hard to follow all of them live.

the guys who worked out this Olympic schedule must be real genius! :whistle::facepalm:

 

I think this is the worst Olympic scheduling ever by far...I really don't remember anything like that (and I've been following the Olympic Games since 1984)...

Same here. I remember that during Beijing i only slept for 4-5 hours per day. But it was worth. 

These games have terrible schedule. So many empty hours and suddenly they put 3 finals at the same time. 

But somehow and with recording with my STB i am still managing to watch almost everything.

    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
