It was a sub-par product at best, sticking to Eurosport this season. The Olympic Channel broadcast a lot of the events for free last season (especially on the online platform). Honestly I’d rather pay for vpns, than give more money to NBC. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Check their YouTube channel (just use random locations until one works) YouTube Channel is here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZpqbnDjHyScSYGFPMUtYA Geo-blocked in some countries. But whyohwhyohwhy no commentary? Both Bobsleigh and Luge - which have a much lower audience overall - pay for a professional commentator on their streams, and they also pick up various athletes on location to do expert analysis. It makes such a huge difference to the watchability of the streams, to spectator understanding of the sport and also promotes the athlete-commentators as personalities. Sheer foolishness.

Never a good thing when you plan the best possible streaming platform as the last one.

Yes, Youtube is much easier to navigate than EVS sports was, plus live chat etc if you can speak Korean, Just too bad about the commentary.

Should add this address will also cover full speed skating and short-track skating. Short track starts next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
