You watch wheelchair curling? Thought I was the only one

Yes I love both curling and wheelchair curling. The former is under pay wall so I'm not bothered to pay for it so I watch this. Exciting semi finals action though I'd have preferred it to have these semis and finals on weekends rather today.

 win -80kg Quotas. Commentator now reading the rules - "If an athlete wins two rounds they win the match"  Looks like they just found that out

Dual moguls WC, men’s freestyle skiing slopestyle WC, short track speed skating Worlds, and ski cross WC all on at the same time pretty much

 

And worst of all, I can’t decide which one I want to watch. I’m thinking I’ll skip the ski cross WC (at least this week) as there’s still races after today, and the Short Track Speed Skating WC Day 1 Finals. I think I’ll watch the season finale in men’s freestyle skiing slopestyle, then an hour and a half later open another device to watch the dual moguls season finale.

For today, after watching Day 2 Asian Taekwondo Olympic Qualification Tournament, I was going to watch Day 1 of the Women’s Ski Flying WC but it got cancelled due to weather conditions. Now a break until the women’s freestyle skiing slopestyle WC final at 3:00, and then as mentioned at 5:30 and 6:30 the season finales in men’s freestyle skiing slopestyle and dual moguls. At 10:00, Hasselborg v. Homan at the Women’s Curling World Championships, at 1:30 onwards Alcaraz v. Sinner and Paul v. Medvedev. Finally at 7:00, some NHL action as Canucks play the Capitals. 

 

All-England Open semifinals in badminton possibly depending on the schedule. 
 

Won’t be able to watch Eczacibasi, or the snowboard cross WC either. 

 

You may ask how I do this. And well the answer is I don’t. Normally by 5:00 I get really tired, sometimes I fall asleep and other times the event is so exciting that I can’t. My sleep schedule isn’t very healthy but well I can’t miss any of my favourite events live so I don’t really have much of a choice.

Alpine skiing, sure.

 

But for the other winter sports, I have to say I’m surprised. I didn’t know that you watched bobsleigh/ski jumping/ski & snowboard cross

I definitely do! Quite a lot of them I watch a bit later (often later on the day, sometimes a day or two later), so I don't really get to posting about it in the threads during the live competitions  

 

Biathlon, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, ski jumping, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge, ski & snowboard cross, speed skating and short track are the winter sports I definitely follow and watch every main competition of (World Cups, in the case of biathlon also IBU Cups and for speed skating of course also national championships). The freestyle stuff....nah, I just can't be bothered, and I find it beyond annoying that skicross is part of freestyle skiing

Wow, that´s super cool. I envy you haha It was always my dream, hopefully I will fulfill one day, maybe this fall (4 & 5th October) when the NJ Devils will play Buffalo in Prague (I guess, it will hardly come closer to me than this ) but the announced ticket prices from 200 EUR may be a bit too expensive (but I´ll see, who knows it may be a sole lifetime opportunity -- so time to start saving up...)
