Aww too bad we can't see Jason while he is being interviewed.

Do they interview him now... he'll be skating soon

NBC now showing a world record speed skate.

I could understand if they didn't show figure skating until x o'clock and only the top skaters - but to have all the replays from the short program and the commentators talking very uninteresting stuff instead of showing the actual competition that's going on for an hour, that's a bit crazy.

Sadly it's very typical of the way NBC covers the Olympics, which is why many people can't wait for their contract to cover the Olympics to be up. It's awful.

 

[JennyYang]

what? Speed skating in NBC now?

 

[Ruthypegs]

I know - it's insane - imagine the outcry if there was a premier league football match showing, and instead of screening it, they showed replays of another previous match, and only showed live coverage of the second half of the match.....

and then started showing a completely different sport, like rugby......

How long is this break? (Do I have time to run to the bakery for brioche?)

depends of how fast a runner you are

If it makes you feel better, on the world feed, we are getting shots of the audience members getting up to powder their noses, during the interval

Yes he was talking about his work with Ronald McDonald House during ice resurfacing.

NBC has terminal ADD

Trying to decide if I want to switch to NBC but afraid the commercials and Tara will drive me crazy.

So are the only going to show the final group? The actual competition started an hour and a half ago!!

 

[cheerknithanson]

That's why I'm glad I have peacock....even if they don't archive.

 

[labgoat]

We had KissCam in the pairs event yesterday

I found some old vhs tapes from the 2002 Olympics and it reminded me of how they used to interrupt skating with cross country skiing, luge etc and no indication if the figure skating coverage was over or if they’d go back in 5-10 minutes. I guess it’s still like that on live tv which makes me grateful for streaming, even if it does involve a lot of jumping through hoops.

I need to have a chat with Yaro's costume designer someday . . .
