I hope FOX gets the next winter games.
NBC now has exclusive rights to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, as well as the 2018 Winter Games and 2020 Olympics, whose sites have not yet been chosen. The deal includes all broadcast platforms, including Internet, mobile and hand-held devices.

It was reinstated for the following cycle - but I don’t think it will be in the next Olympics.
Not sure why on earth they would drop it.
I do enjoy this Russian ballet!
