Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games 2018 News

I signed up for updates on that site back in September.  I haven't gotten one update from them.  I'm also very frustrated with the ticket situation.  Last I read they were supposed to open sales up to Korean nationals in October.  Even my Korean friends can't find any information on it.  It's not just that we can't find dates, we literally cannot find any information on tickets at all.  All we've come up with is a pricing schedule that was released back in May.  

 

If you want biathlon, I wouldn't worry too much since it's not terribly popular in this part of the world.  However, I am very interested in high-demand tickets to long and short track speed skating and hockey.  I also really want curling tickets.  I mean, I'll take anything else I can fit in, but those are really important to me and I know they're going to be hard to get.  But like much in Korea, there doesn't seem to be much organization or forward planning so you just have to wait and see.

I am with you on that one. No one from the OC returns emails at all.

No live Olympics on German TV in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024, only on Eurosport..

Which is a huge shame especially for winter sports, because German TV is where I basically get all my live winter sports every winter :mad:

"Olympics will be offered on free-to-air channel Eurosport 1 in Germany, with additional coverage on DMAX & pay channel Eurosport 2. "

"Eurosport says its free-to-air coverage in Germany will exceed the IOC requirement of minimum 100 hrs for winter games & 200 hrs for summer "

Yes, I meant it won't be on ARD and ZDF, who always have truly excellent coverage of winter sports. It will be sad to watch them all winter, but then have to switch to our own Dutch commentator who know nothing for the highlight of the season.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
