It’s stil way better than Tokyo and Peyongchang,. They will hate Cortina in 2 years. Gymnastics may be one of the sports that has their people in Paris. Same with Swimming

In Asia, they could schedule major events in the morning so they could be live in the evening in the US
NBC controls Gymnastics and Diving, and Australia controls swimming. Track and Field is controlled by Finland. NBC controls Gof and so on.
Olympic Broadcasting Service runs the show and frankly, they do a good job.

@Aussie Bruin Do people in Australia have good memories of 2000?
Barcelona in 1992 seems to be the gold standard of the modern era.

20 years later this is still the greatest moment in NBC Olympic history.

Do people even still play badminton in their backyard? Horseshoes? Seems like cornhole is the thing now.
I miss Jarts.
Swimming is where it is at so far this Olympics. My shoulders hurt just watching them swim the butterfly.
@Fenway yeah definitely. We're still very proud of the 2000 games. It all went well, we won a lot of medals (which always helps!), and a lot of the infrastructure that was built for it is still in use, so the legacy has been positive. Expensive for sure, but generally still seen as value for money. Maybe Sydney was just a little light on those really iconic moments - and I'd agree that Barcelona may well be the modem benchmark, although London was also very good - but it was just a good, fun solid games.
So much so that we're going round again and Brisbane is hosting in 2032.
This is my feeling too- she's been seriously ill but has managed to recover well enough to do this. Hats off to her!
Some of the subjective events are grossly skewed. I'd have to watch the event with the commentary to see why the scores were so low for the US and apparently overscored for the Chinese team.
When I was in grammar school the city of Cambridge would show this film in every school in the city.
The Red Balloon (French: Le ballon rouge) is a 1956 French fantasy comedy-drama featurette written, produced, and directed by Albert Lamorisse. The thirty-four-minute short, which follows the adventures of a young boy who one day finds a sentient, mute, red balloon, was filmed in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris.

Over 5 points between the USA and Italy. This was with a rough beam and a disaster of a routine on the floor for one of the girls. If they hit Tuesday, they may win by a bigger margin.
Romania back in the team final since 2012.

Do you need Peacock to see some actual competition? Obviously you show competition when its races, but the other sports? ugh. The diving last night, all they showed was two dives from the US and two from the Chinese. OH and maybe one from GBR. All the while tons of commercials and hype pieces in between I watch the Olympics for the competition, not just to see how US does. For the swimming they didn't even introduce the other teams or even the US team members.
I go through this every Olympics. It's frustrating. They show some 20 minute corny human interest piece on an athlete and then straight to the 2 minute race. No history or other competitors.

Peacock is really the best way to see events in full. You can also watch live on nbc and other channels throughout the day.
Peacock is worth the money for the olympics

They are calling this stuff remotely watching a screen. Like @Fenway stated. NBC doesn’t give a rats ass

Gold Zone on Peacock is literally what I've wanted for years. It's incredible. Just put it on and enjoy.

ooooo. 45 minutes of Snoop and Colin Jost content. I like them both, but last I heard, they aren't Olympic athletes.
Overreaction IMO. Canadian response is well done. Up to what we know, Canadian players have nothing to do with it. Now I am going back to cheer for our girls.
neither are most of the competitors . Remember when the Olympics were for amateurs?
Welll.... USSR, Est Germany etc.. got me with their Amateur players. Olympics are for the best... let the best play.
I wish I could share the smell - Magnifique
I have been here 2 other times and I am still stunned at the size of the painting.

Tiny isn't it? Exquisite all the same. Although there are other paintings in the Louvre that interest me more.
Have you been to the d'Orsay? Its collection of Impressionists and Van Goghs is top notch.
