Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Broadcasting


Recommended Posts

Curiosities of watching the Olympics in the :USA on NBC: They'll superimpose images on top, like giving us speeds in MPH for the skiing (and how far behind in feet at the end of the run).  Also, we don't have the TM in many of the graphics.

Good news is that here in :GBR coverage of the Games got excellent viewing figures, by modern standards.  Makes me wonder if the BBC will be kicking themselves for neglecting this years' other big event, at least with us, the Commonwealth Games.

 

BBC should spare us the tears in their Winter Olympics cheerleading

There was a lot of good stuff with the BBC coverage - although some of the presenter did go a bit over the top, and the fillers that they used were pretty cringeworthy. 

 

If there's one thing they need to figure out is how to show events like this without having the constant switching - from the channel to IPlayer and back to channel.

Unlikely because the BBC doesn’t earn extra money if something gets good ratings and budget was a big issue. 
 

Also Birmingham 2022 didn’t do great in the ratings which I suspect influenced things as well.

And time to start discussing the Paralympic Broadcast Coverage.

 

Here in :GBR it is Channel 4 as ever.  The live shows in the morning tend to be rather more blethering and soap opera than actual action.

But the YouTube Channel has all the actual sport.  This is not usually geoblocked.

And I suppose for countries which do not have their own channels covering it, you can watch on Eurovision Sport.

The replays are already available on Olympics.com! This is possibly the quickest I've ever seen the replays made available to view (outside the media rights holders).

 

The replays are all available here: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/videos/replays

I wonder how C4 will cover the Russia issue and the likely chaos it will cause.

    • Canada played well here in the league phase, but these new rules, in my opinion, are more of a lottery and it is easier for an unpleasant surprise to happen to the favorite, although of course Canada has always been better in women's water polo, just like the USA. In Italy, I'm worried about the decline of the our women team and now that Russia returns, we might have a serious problem to qualifying for the Olympics, even with 12 teams. It's a tragedy. I know that young girls in the ITA prefer swimming in these times, but our swimming federation should try harder to promote water polo among young girls. Apparently, they have excellent finances, so let them keep doing anything. After all, not everyone has to swim in a 50-meter pool. For now, in my opinion, in women's water polo for Italy, naturalizing 1-2 strong girls, e.g. in the centre, would help a lot, but our federation is stil sleepingWhat good naturalization means was shown to us by the Italian NT in women's hockey and in water polo 1-2 such strong girls would be enough...

    • At this point Brazil is the favourite to take the Olympic quota. They were unfortunate in their draws during the league stage. Based on their pre-suspended performances, Russia is a good team and Georgia has been on the edge of being decent.   On a good day Canada can defeat Brazil, but we also have days where we lose to Ukraine, a team that loses to Malta on the regular.   As for 2028, let's hope South Africa decides to compete. We could also take on China/Japan.
    • Canada beat France in the group stage and then lost to Ukraine today  Ukraine played at the 1996 Olympics, but was very weak later+ its base was in Mariupol, which they lost to Russia. I wonder where they train now?
    • Well, I don't know if I expected anything from Argentina, Brazil, and Canada, but...   I think after this tournament, I'm sure that whoever qualifies will be humiliated in Los Angeles.
    • Italy lost a friendly game to Hungary 0-2 yesterday and for me, that could be a key match, but Italy needs to win their opening 1-2 matches against Norway and Slovakia to have a chance to promote. Hungary has certainly been training together for several days and Italy will only be fully squad for today, with no Canadian head coach from OG, but just assistants from Italy and Canada for all the tournament. For it will be difficult for Italy to advance, especially since only team will advance- so the margin of error is practically zero. Italy definitely needs to win their first 1-2 matches, and then the crucial match against Hungary, who is a very strong team- Germany's level, in my opinion. It's a shame Austria isn't here instead of Hungary and that 2 teams aren't advancing to the Elite Division instead of one. Then I'd be much more at ease. Hungary is much better team for me than Austria in women hockey.
    • I had found a nice Reddit post that had a comprehensive view of what was left and at what price.  Using that, I knew what I wanted to get.  Fortunately, things were smooth in the process overall.  One session was sold out of the tickets I wanted and I had to change dates, but ultimately, I'm pleased.  (Hey...we're going to the Olympics! )   We're going to see Women's Handball Prelims (we get to see two matches), and we will see Men's Lacrosse Prelims (where we get to see three matches...which means that we'll be guaranteed to see Team USA  ).   We were slightly constrained in availability (obviously) and also with the thought that we'll have our (then) 9 and 13 year old daughters with us, so it needed to be family-friendly and fun...and I think both of these tick that box.  I also wanted to see a sport we don't normally see here, so Handball definitely ticks that.   We ultimately would love to snag Climbing tickets (Women's Boulder specifically) and perhaps Women's Volleyball or Basketball (Team USA preferably), and our schedule does allow us some flexibility (we have several days between these events).  But, who knows if any will become available at any point (either in a future Drop or in Resale).   Best of luck to anyone else still wanting tickets!   Also wanted to share this Google Doc that some other kind soul on Reddit put together for anyone else planning.
    • Italy for sure followed by distance with France and Hungary. Any other outcome would be surprising,   China is a mystery currently, but I would be surprised if they end by playing the promotion rather than relegation with us and Norway
