Daytona 500 

 

Which is a bit tough because otherwise I would have been sleeping for 3 hours already by now, it's annoying this race came right in the middle of an Olympics with 8 hours time difference

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

I mean, that's how I do it. I can't speak for our Slovak friend of course, we're not living together

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.

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.

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!

 

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.
