How to guarantee that nobody watches the Winter Olympics: put it in a city nobody has ever heard of or cares about, and in a time zone far, far, away from the U.S.

They are currently nine hours ahead of EDT.

I dunno. I believe the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway was one of the most successful of all time.

I've heard of Sochi, though I can't say I care about it. And there are Olympic followers across the pond in Europe too, and Russia isn't in a time zone too far away from them.

You must have been rooting for one of these two thriving metropolis Salzburg, Austria or Pyeongchong, South Korea.

I don’t think that they are on CDT either.

Like Pyeongchong, South Korea ever had a chance. LOL

But was Lillehammer in Norway ever a household name? They put on a pretty good show as I recall.

Besides, people who really care about the Giant Slalom and the Luge won’t care much about silly things like time zones dude.

And after her Gold metal win in Women’s Figure skating at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olypimpics, Maryland, USA’s own Kimmie Meissner will be poised to win her second Gold at Sochi in 2014! That should bring in some viewers.

Interesting perspective. What % of viewers in the world are from America? When I watch the Olympics I don’t watch based on where the event is held. I am happy for Russia.

At least Sochi is easier to spell than Pyeongchang:)
