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 !!!!!!

That's a shame. Both BBC and Eurosport have good commentary.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

This. They need better audio balancing between the skips, who are literally yelling, and the announcers, who sound like they are watching a putt on the 18th hole.

Still better than the Dutch TV (not that they're showing curling), which would most likely turn the sound from the crowd and players all the way down. That sucks.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I can tell the commentator (USA vs Russia) has a Canadian accent, but havn't a clue what he is saying because the mic gain is so low....

 

i believe that most of the nbcolympics.com feed is the international feed, i dont think that it's the NBC feed, i'm sure that on NBCSN it will sound much better
