Couldnt tell you how but i know it happens a lot in skiing and snowboarding, she'd not be the only one at the games doing the same

Was just checking out the australian broadcast and streaming arrangements for these olympics and it appears most of it is going to be paywalled on stan sport with only highlights and recaps on 9now. The only free live coverage will be one free to air channel at a time, 9 or 9gem when shit like mafs is on. So basically whatever events 9 choose to show in between all their usual annoying australian centric interviews, recaps and replays of completed events. So disappointing.
Like to go from every sport being live and free on 9now for Paris to literally nothing for this is a joke. Literally had more live and free options on secondary free to air channels before streaming was even took off.

FFS that's so annoying. I'm not one to praise 7 but they had all events available for free in the previous two Winter Olympics. Now I'll have to put up with Ally Langdon talking drivel and pretending to know anything about these sports.

Even the Paris Olympics 9 had all events available for free. It will be unwatchable on tv, their annoying presenters get more air time than any of the actual sports

Wow Guseli got a late entry to the big air qualifications due to an injury and just got into the final with a huge last jump.

need roy and hg to do commentary like in 2000 gymnastics ... that was 26 years ago

Will be hard to top for story of the Olympics in an Australian POV and the opening ceremony hasn’t even taken place.
A remarkable jump he had no intention of doing until his dad convinced him to just go for it.
The look on his face when he landed was priceless.

That's very stiff.

Just found this out today. I guess we'll get **** all Alpine Skiing, but wall-to-wall coverage of all the shit sports like Moguls and Freestyle. And endless loops of a few 'highlights', and endless replays of athlete interviews.

Am I the only one who hates events before the opening ceremony?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The curling is awesome but this ice dance is like dressage with the equestrian it’s the same thing basically for every routine

Pretty sure it's a different wedding dj for each routine though

Or events after the closing ceremony.

 

[Royces Hart]

Live action on and channel Nine give us five minutes of KD Lang singing in an opening ceremony sixteen years ago.

Cunning strategy to make me pay for Stan.

The ice skating channeling Eurovision with the group of supporters in the judging area

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Could they interview this snowboarder another time? Seriously we get it he made the final perhaps wait till the guy actually medals before going nuts on interviews

 

[toml]

Was just about to pay the $30 for stan and stan sports only to find a friend of mine had logged in to his account to watch the premier league on my TV about a year ago and is still logged in. Nice little win

Creepy as hell dynamic between those two Japanese figure skaters. Zipped her hoodie up to cover her chest, and then once the massive score was announced he acknowledged everyone else in the team and completely ignored her, even when she tried to give him a little fist bump. Very ****ing weird

What does Stan offer compared to this appalling Nine coverage?

I've never had Stan but will get it for a month if it is better. Does it have ads and all that drivel they talk behind the desk?

Too much figure skating as always. They do this every time. It must be what people want to watch. Though it is early days and things are yet to really kick off. But the ads and those irrelevant clips they show.

I mean, they showed a clip of KD Lang singing at the 2010 games. WTF?

 

[Royces Hart]

Ummm, the “jump map” for the figure skating looks eerily like a sperm at times.

Haven't watched much yet but seems to have pretty much everything available to watch including whatever nine decides to show at the time (they've even had practice sessions for some events to watch). Very few ads in the few hours I watched and no drivel, that seems to just be kept for channel 9. Seems a lot of the commentary feeds on Stan are international comms and not the same as we are hearing on 9.
