More snowboarder Silje Norendal, less figure skater fruit announcer Johnny Weir.

Sure viewing for me is hockey and short track skating events. I will also watch some ski jumping and down hill events, that’s it.

I recorded the Team Figue Skating and the Moguls runs last night. When I started watching, I realized that, in the first 40 minutes, I had seen exactly 4 short programs (2-3 minutes) of mens figure skating. Nearly everybody fell at least once. If I watch anything in the Olympics this year, I will certainly DVR it as I could not care less in regards to all the talking, opinions, etc, of the commentators. SHUT UP AND SHOW US THE COMPETITIONS!

Even with Direct TV its very difficult to find events to watch..............
If you can download the NBC Sports App you can watch event replays anytime.

The networks have never broadcast my sport anyway.
They’d rather rerun the quarterfinals of the men’s fardling event a dozen times than show “less popular” sports.

Here's an idea. Let Tara Lipinsky cover ice skating alone or with just about anyone else.
To: Snickering Hound
Thats why right there.
The new normal is just not.
I wont be watching queers, thats for sure.

You can also go to nbcolympics.com and watch the events live or archived in their entirety. It’s not the TV feed so you don’t get all the syrupy crap. Unfortunately they have some commercials though. I’ve been able to watch the events I want for the last four Olympics without spending one second on the TV network.

skating last night, opening tonight, go figure. I think the Norks had to skate to Seoul because their plane broke down.
To: mykroar
Yeah I agree. It was better the old way.

IMO, there is way too much chatter during the figure skating events.

With a few minor improvements she’d make a good template for a female robot.

Then there is Russian curler Anastasia Bryzgalova, we're stuck with NFL coach Andy Reid six weeks after he starts a crash diet...

One thing I like about it is the “women” are actually women, not little girls.

Pretty sure our curling team would rather eat it.
