I am so happy we have reached the point where it's about the athletes and the competition and not all the usual negativity which was obviously amped up because of the host nation. Biathlon last night was incredible. Hope there's much much more of that!

Leaving aside the fact that the athletes did not know the shooting range, we are talking about a race with climatic conditions at the limit. It was absolutely not a good show from the point of view of respecting the athletes. But at least it was entertaining and fun to see on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the range was a total mess and the weather played a major factor, but yes my point was that it was entertaining and fun. If respect for the athletes was important, we'd be talking about these Olympics in Norway. pdr4332 1 Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter is all about cold temperature, snow is optional. Plus it's a matter of having your own opinion, for me I loved this games already after seeing the venues. I'm extremely stressed right now so olympics is one of those things that makes me feel happy these days. Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,192 Posted February 5, 2022 #917 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Biathlon and ski jumping venues are easily the worst ever. They are literally next to a freaking wind plant. intoronto 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,334 Posted February 5, 2022 #918 Share Posted February 5, 2022 My main complain is actually OBS. They had some really odd camera angles in moguls, luge and cross country and some notable TV graphic mistakes all over the place.

Maybe it's just me, but the video at short track seems way too bright. Feels like a lot of venues have been like that. We all know ice is white, but most of the time it's not this bad.

I am guessing broadcasting is a big challenge due to COVID. As mentioned earlier in the thread Tokyo had big problems too, and I don't remember any of that being an issue in Rio or Pyeongchang.
