Curling Mixed Doubles Tournament at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

[FC Mezhgorye 135]

Jenny Perret won.  I hope she, Bryzgalova and Kauste will win. Top 3 most beautiful girls in a mixed doubles tournament

I'll add my voice to the chorus of BOOOS to NBC for their terrible audio coverage of the curling matches.

 

The crowd noises, music, announcements from the stadium speakers, and the voices of the skippers are all very loud.

 

However the commentary is so quiet and soft that I cannot understand a single word. It is English which is my native language.  Its volume is low. Not a single world can I understand !

 

F--- is the richly deserved grade for the audio technicians of NBC: FAIL !!!!!!

That's a shame. Both BBC and Eurosport have good commentary.

This. They need better audio balancing between the skips, who are literally yelling, and the announcers, who sound like they are watching a putt on the 18th hole.

Most favourites for medals had a bad start.

Still better than the Dutch TV (not that they're showing curling), which would most likely turn the sound from the crowd and players all the way down. That sucks.

I can tell the commentator (USA vs Russia) has a Canadian accent, but havn't a clue what he is saying because the mic gain is so low....

Canada played poorly in that match. Morris was having trouble getting use to the ice, hopefully it'll get better.

i believe that most of the nbcolympics.com feed is the international feed, i dont think that it's the NBC feed, i'm sure that on NBCSN it will sound much better
