The pandemic can 100% be blamed. I can't speak to a non-American perspective, but getting excited about the Olympics is something that requires a strong lead-up. The Olympics didn't have that this year. We had people all over the world who doubted they would even happen (or should happen). Sure, the competition has been everything an Olympics should be, but given the state of the world right now, there isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that interest in the Olympics would be much higher if not for the pandemic Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifta 41 Posted August 6, 2021 #542 Share Posted August 6, 2021 And why do they write only English letters in names? Why do they ignore letters like á, é, ö, or ř, š, đ, and so on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that for some languages certain letters get changed ("á" to "a"), while for others, like Russian, you get a name with completely different letters.

NaBUru38 204 Posted August 6, 2021 #544 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I have seen Copa América broadcasts using labels like "Copa America" and "Luis Suarez"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in their time zone pretty much & of course there is nothing the Aussies love more than watching the Mother Country doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't really explain why they leave out special national characters. If I can write them here, then it could appear on the screen too.

rafalgorka 1,369 Posted August 8, 2021 #548 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I wonder for how long all these on-demand videos will be available on Eurosport Player. Although I watched olympics sth like 14 hours a day, I still have things to catch, and some other to watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know about ESP specifically, but someone wrote here that broadcaster's have exclusivity to the content up to 31 Dec 2021. So they would be fools if they did not keep it until then at least, after they have paid for the exclusivity in the region concerned (Europe, exc UK, FR, and RU in this case) rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
