Thinking of posting daily events, who won which medals, that sort of thing.
I ask because sports content kind of gets downvoted, so if it’s not your thing, that’s cool too!
My problem is, because I’m on West Coast time, I’m greatly removed from the events and kind of at the mercy of NBC’s schedule.
Well, that and I’m not PERSONALLY interested in sports, but if you guys want it, I’ll do it!

I don’t have any personal interest in it, but I don’t want to discourage it from being done if other people like it. Doesn’t hurt me to have a stickied post up.
west coast time
Are you in Bretagne or Bordeaux?
West Coast US. :) So 9 hours behind Paris.
Well, be a darling and say that. Don’t assume everyone knows which country you’re in. Makes you seem…so… American

I don’t think that the term “West Coast” and “East Coast” is a thing in Europe…only really an east coast.
Might be somewhere else uses the same terms, like Africa or South America or Australia.
In the US, the term is important because there are two major population clusters, the larger one in the east and the smaller one in the west, with a comparatively-uninhabited area in between. It’s very common to have servers that target one or the other, to keep low latency, or people active at times appropriate to cover one coast or another.
I’ve heard it used in India
Oh, yeah, that’d make sense.
No.
For what it’s worth I say no
Yea
Personally, I hate mega threads as they’re designed to bury content, especially for an event that last one month. Maybe if it’s daily…
I was planning on watching it, but due to an emergency it is the last thing I am worried about watching. I would love an update thread to get a quick peek at what’s going on
Maybe.
Public cost, private profits.
It’s possible to watch opening, competitions for free on the Internets?Looks like it’s all limited to nbc.com, nbcolympics.com and the Peacock streaming service.
Unless you have a VPN. I’ve been watching via the UK and Canada.
In the past, some of the best (full events, live, not heavy on commentators) was from non-US public sources using VPN in said country. Like Canada’s CBC, Britain’s BBC, etc. I haven’t done it in a while though, can’t confirm.
