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 !!!!!!

 

Better than Australian TV as we didn't get any curling action for Day -2.

Was surprised that :RUS (yeah I'm calling them Russian) lost so easily against :USA.

Most people would probably call them Russian, because it's a whole lot easier to write 'they beat the Russians' than 'they beat the Olympic Athletes from Russia', while knowing that their nationality is Russian anyway :p

No! You are supposed to call them Olympic Athletes from Russia, just like you are supposed to say People's Republic of China! :p

Oh, and curling is supposed to start in a few minutes, but a bus carrying 7 of the 8 teams is delayed :facepalm:

 

 

I guess because of protests nearby, I was also late because of them. Mostly because it was interesting to watch

Bring back the 1991 borders

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
