Yes, unfortunately. And at times I found keeping up with Rio hard (even though there's only 5 hours difference)

 

Maybe I should just conserve my energy for Tokyo...

Rio 2016 was very easy to follow.. i remember when i followed the volleyball qualification in Japan, wake up around 3am

New Olympic motto should be "Athletes come last"...

Well this is clearly divided according to the audience's interests. the biathlon, NC, Ski Jumping are scheduled at later evening times to be favorable for European viewers, The Figure Skating times in other hand are obviously made for the North American viewers

Why? It's perfect when it's at night:

 

- No other sports outside the Olympics asking for attention

- No non-sportsaddicted people asking for attention

- Only the hardcore fans will be online all night

 

Etc  

 

 

 

Well. If you're sure that you can just turn around sleeping patterns, sure it is.

Sadly I fear that Rio was the last time for some years that I'll be able to do so for the Entire games.

If I decide to prolong the time that I'm gonna use for my final thesis, I can do the same next year (I'm meant to finish it by new year), but after that it's very questionable.

Alpine Skiing is scheduled early, but I guess it´s mainly because of lighting and the infrastructure. Visibility is very important, maybe they could move at least slaloms or AC slaloms parts to later time but well..we will have to watch Alpine skiing at 3:00 AM here

For two weeks, yep  

 

And if I have a job at the time, I'll use my vacation days in those weeks.
