Thanks CaroLiza_fan for finding this info. I guess the European hosts have been pretty much consistent with their start times. For indoor sports, I don't think it matters if it's day or night. However, this will make it difficult for someone wanting to attend outdoor and indoor events the same day.

I grew up in the United church, which had adopted the grape juice version as one of the concessions to the Methodists when the union of three churches happened in 1925. Then in Ottawa I got a side gig as the soprano soloist at St Andrew's Presbyterian. First Communion Sunday, I took a mouthful from my little glass, realized to my horror that it was real wine, and was trying to figure out how to spit it out when I was on full view in the choir loft. In the end, I pretended to take a second sip and spat it out into the glass instead.you know when i was a teen ager my friends and i stole a bottle from the neighbourhood church (one of my friend had access to it being a boy scout), it's so low quality
I should mention that it wasn't completely culture shock; I'm also allergic to anything fermented and couldn't drink wine even if I wanted to.

I am Episcopalian (Anglican to non Americans) so we drink fermented wine for communion.
It is sweet and yucky. Not recommended for stealing drinking or otherwise. When I served as a chalice bearer we were supposed to drink the unused wine. Blessed and all that. No way. ;(
But I remember the first time I went to a Methodist church and they passed around grape juice, and I was like, what is this? Where's the wine?

At my Groton Congregational, we serve both grape juice and wine. We pick a pinot grigio so the color difference is clear.
For bread, in the middle of the plate of cubes of regular bread is a small bowl with gluten free bread.

OK, off of sacraments in one or two kinds to post a skating promo. 
Yes, it is US centric, but with a truly global superstar. Since she is narrating, I'm sure they obtained the rights to "Opalite"

Maybe Taylor then would consider giving rights to perform to her music to one or more skaters next season!

Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, was born in Scotland but brought to Canada as a small boy. He grew up to be famous for his oratory, but also well-known for his excessive alcohol consumption. My gt-gt-gt-grandfather Robert Shaw, who remained in Scotland, was his cousin, and his branch of the family were strict Methodists. Poor Robert never knew whether to brag about his cousin John's fame as a statesman and politician, or hide the relationship because of The Drinking.I am Episcopalian (Anglican to non Americans) so we drink fermented wine for communion.

I was just thinking medal count should be based on the# of delegates per country. Obviously the largest delegate (232), US would have many more opportunities to medal than a smaller delegate like Netherlands (38) or Norway (80). Taking that into consideration, the US would place much lower on the list, probably #10. And if the lone delegate medals, then that country would be #1.

But it doesn't work.
For instance, it takes over twenty delegates to win one ice hockey medal while cross country skier can win five medals on his own
