Maeki? Hakola seems to suffer from the altitude, that would be my conclusion at least. Their women should have better chance at gold. That is, if they don't enter Kylloenen and Matintalo! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway losing both relays will bring questions back home, and while the women's one was to be expected, today's blowout won't be received well. Norway will simply say it was stolen by the Russians. Norwegian Tv is very hostile to Russia being at the games Kirkpatrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niskanen/Paramakoski is fix. I think it will be mäki, he was fourth in the individual sprint. I think from the Russian team we will see Stupak/Nepreyeva and Bolshunov/Terentev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Tv is very hostile to Russia being at the games Obviously Russia is dirty, but if you are dirty yourself, you shouldn't complain about others beating you at your own game. Of course Russia will always have an advantage at this game. If your economy is complete trash, it will always be easier to find people who are desperate enough to do anything.

dcro 10,179 Posted February 13, 2022 #767 Share Posted February 13, 2022 In all honesty, there is some truism in what our British friend is saying. TV ratings do matter. NBC ratings are reportedly only at half compared to Pyeongchang. Cases like Valieva are now becoming key. If someone who tested positive a month ago is allowed to start as if nothing happened, then the IOC is risking to have the Olympics become progressively more irrelevant (like the Oscars, for the mainstream audience). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,127 Posted February 13, 2022 #770 Share Posted February 13, 2022 NBC ratings are down every single year for all of their programming for 8 years now. It's the evolution of US viewing habits. It's not like 12 years ago, when you had to wait for 8 pm coverage to see anything. People are watching what they'd want on twitter for Gods sake. Who's wanting to bother with 3 hours of primetime coverage, 1 hour of which is ads, 1 hour has fluff pieces and the last hour has cherry picked events. Their main target is getting people subscribed to Peacock and stay subscribed for their other stuff. Kirkpatrick, Ted and NearPup 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
