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 !!!!!!

 

Better than Australian TV as we didn't get any curling action for Day -2.

Was surprised that :RUS (yeah I'm calling them Russian) lost so easily against :USA.

Most people would probably call them Russian, because it's a whole lot easier to write 'they beat the Russians' than 'they beat the Olympic Athletes from Russia', while knowing that their nationality is Russian anyway :p

Oh, and curling is supposed to start in a few minutes, but a bus carrying 7 of the 8 teams is delayed :facepalm:

No! You are supposed to call them Olympic Athletes from Russia, just like you are supposed to say People's Republic of China! :p

Yeah and like you're supposed to say Former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia or Chinese Taipei or Democratic People's Republic of Korea, but no :p

I guess because of protests nearby, I was also late because of them. Mostly because it was interesting to watch
