So if 7-8 indoor sports go from Summer Olympics to Winter Olympics it's not wrong. However I don't want sports repeated. Indoor sports will be played indoor whether in summer or winter. Yes it might dilute the winter sports a bit, but then both games may get good revenue and can keep a larger global audience interested. I can't follow all the sports at summer games it's a lot but comparatively winter games have the space to add sports. If I have to choose Indoor sports into winter games: - Judo - Taekwondo or Karate - Handball - 3x3 Basketball - TT or Badminton - Squash - Volleyball - Chess I think this would make the programme more balanced and will deliver blockbuster Olympics every 2 years I know this might be an unpopular opinion here in the forum, which is fine.

Right, teh technical score of Nakai went from 78 to 72 and I clearly didn't feel there enough jumps that had to be reviewed. Alyssa Liu deserved a score 70-72 in technical elements, nothing extraordinary but kept getting that 0.5-1 extra in GOE for literally no reason

Minkkinen So happy for her The first medal for Finland in biathlon at winter Olympics since 1998 Nagano (Ville Raikonen - Men's Sprint) She is also the first female biathlete to win an Olympic medal from Finland

Minkinen did tell how she doesn't particularly like this high altitude venue of Antholz, her speed has gone down drastically.

Funny how struggled in women's biathlon races all Olympic cycle but managed to keep the Olympic title in sprint to themselves and also have a good chance at winning pursuit too.

seem to have shown the uptick in ski speed at the right time. No medal for Todorova but I believe it gives her a good chance for tomorrow's pursuit and a good chance at mass start too.

M-M-W-W Mixed Relay for the first time. I feel the race is a bit more even with this format. Lots of teams have good female athletes in the last leg.

VPN time now

😂 Always knew what it was going to be

Don't know if I get enough time for this but I'll be rooting for

The first applause of the games goes to LIGHTS... Alas that was a short one .. And again it has gone off. Welcome to Milan Cortina 2026

It's a power cut within the first 5 minutes of action

Wow it works I see the Norway GBR match now

I will explore VPNs but I know a lot of people will not put that effort but might have just watched few hours of the games or more, which is no longer a possibility now. The fact that this is happening in 2026 is surprising it used to happen in early 2010s after that all major multi sport games have got good streaming. I asked the support team to at least show us a few more sports to which I got a reply that it is not possible at the moment. So unless miraculously some broadcaster steps in I'll mostly use a VPN. Pity because a lot of people do watch it - at least the Olympic Games; if not regularly.

So in and maybe most of the countries where broadcast is not available: Figure Skating and Alpine Skiing will be shown live (all events) on YouTube and Olympic Channel. Snowboarding Finals, Ice Hockey and Curling Medal Matches will also be shown. Nothing of any other sports including Biathlon, Ski Jumping, Cross Country Skiing, Sliding sports, Short Track, Free Ski etc.

Yes which means no way we can watch it. I have no hope now unless they change plan and decide to stream on Olympic Channel.

I assume IOC in touch with a few broadcasters/ streaming platforms who are not ready to pay that big an amount to IOC as they are asking... Can't do a lot really here.

I'm not sure about VPN. What are the best vpns and best country I should choose

Maybe I have used vpns but not for 12+ hours in a day. Max would be 2-4 hours. The IOC reply to me on mail confirms that only official broadcasters will be able to show the games

Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally

No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live. Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule. So much about making the games accessible to all...

Thanks a lot I already have applied for leaves. Looks like all I get will be T20 WC to watch even though that was never on my schedule.

It shows nothing

What a pity, @Olympian1010 / @hckošice any idea ? Last year we had streams in place by this time before the games this year we don't have any in Olympic channel or YouTube

What about nations which don't have an official broadcast? Will it be streamed on olympic channel like last time?
