mixed doubles curling is kinda boring tbh, I need the real thing

NBC has been putting highlight videos on their YouTube channel.
So I’ve watched some of the matches collapsed into 8-10 minutes each, they basically just boil it down to showing the last stone of each end.
Peacock has something called Gold Zone. Is that like Red Zone?
I can’t imagine how bad your quads and glutes hurt after 4 minutes of max effort skating
That was a good run in the 3000. Olympic record for the hometown Italian.
I had no idea that was a medal event until the end. I figured they were doing heats or something.
Speed skating is just a race against the clock
I find it hilarious that the very Italian father and son of the gold medal winner are sharing the screen with a fat guy in a Florida State Hoodie
The wind sound at the start of the luge is crazy. I think it’s the sound of a camera they haven’t even shown yet.
They just showed the shot. It’s in the wrong part of the track. It needs to be in the speed parts to be a cool shot but I like the idea.
I liked the downhill better when there wasn’t the constant whine of drones in the background. Fairly impressive the shots they get following the skiers down the course, but still filter that shit out.
You can’t. It would be silent. Might as well just play music if you want to lose that.
How does someone born in Canada switch to compete for the U.S. in these times? Guessing ‘questionable’ parental politics…
if you’re watching on peacock, the multiview is kinda nice, it’s not obvious but you can control which screen you’re hearing and if you want to lock in you can just click and get it full screen
yeah kinda except it seems like they’re gonna stick on each event too long

I may check this out, though the stakes are obviously better in some competitions over others.
I think Gold Zone is less essential for Winter Olympics where there are just so many fewer events
oh one other thing on the peacock app that is nice about the multiview, you can move to the individual events and then back to multiview without getting the enshittified unskippable kelce youtube tv ad for the 900th time
how much speed do lugers actually pick up slapping the ice after they push off? I get that in this event it’s literally thousandths of a second that matter, and I’m sure they’ve got people studying exactly how many slaps are optimal, I just want to see the numbers
What if you just delayed the feed a bit (maybe 2 min)? Would that be enough to send it through something they can telestrate on for some plays? You won’t get different angles and such that you might have if you were in total control, but it’s something.
Reminded me of this story
