I was referring to the Sky vs Eurosport controversy...

rai doesn't even exist for me...I'd rather watch Swiss, French, German, British, Czech and Slovak TV (and any other I can find on the Clarke belt)...

and I also use the Eurosport Player, if I can't find a TV network showing what I want to watch...

I want write SKY the frist time but I mistake

normally is the top 25 only making the 4th run at the Olympics...

but also the top 20 is OK to me...it doesn't change that much...

It's actually everyone that usually gets the 4th run at the Olympics. What a travesty! I hope the Slovak lugers are mistaken.

That is what happens when you get too greedy and sell your soul to US broadcasters to become rich without sweating.

I really hate that spectators from other parts of the world, and mostly the competitors themselves, have to endure this just so the IOC and NBC can get tons of money

I completely agree

It's just not interesting to read about hackers from other countries, I know how the news are made.

This scheduling is a joke from the European perspective. There are currently ZERO live events going on, not even one single hockey or curling match. 

 

As a student currently on exchange studying in Europe, this really sucks. However, I feel like if I were back home in Canada the schedule would be amazing. Everything in primetime and in the early morning, with nothing important to miss overnight, except for maybe cross country skiing and speed skating.
