Been looking for a forum online for discussion the Olympics and Olympic sports. Looks like I'm in the right place! I'm actually from NYC. The "Quaker2001" name is a reference to where and when I went to school. I am indeed in the media. As I told another poster, I actually worked for NBC once upon a time, including working in Salt Lake at the Olympics in 2002. Definitely one of the more fun sports experiences of my life! Nice to see you here ! I am assuming you are the same person from GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I asked someone over there to tell me if there was a forum that's more Olympics than Olympic bidding. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for!

Definitely in the right place. What do you do media wise? I’d love to work an Olympics (I’ll be in Tokyo as a “freelance”, though I run my own publication) “Sport has the power to change the world.

Wait until you see what I've got cooking up for this summer. For the 2018 Olympics, I did a big spreadsheet in Google docs with all the event schedules plus the TV coverage. Trying to do something similar for Tokyo. Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to do something similar for Tokyo. I may also provide a very similar service for the forum . I do more video archive/replay lists though. Olympic Channel eliminated all my fun for the 2020 Winter YOG by posting their own schedule for streaming (I’d still love to work for them though) “Sport has the power to change the world.
