Apparently all of the livestreams are like this on the CBC website - everyone's privy to the behind-the-scenes chitchat during the non-existent commercials. I doubt that it'll be as juicy during the games as during the opening (when everyone was full of anticipation), but you might want to be ready for the closing ceremony.

They took it down early this morning, so in preparation I will try and record the stream for the closing ceremonies.

You know I thought it was pretty cool that the american skater was skating to pink floyd, but hearing 'pink floyd' applied to 'short program' made me pause for a second

I also watched and heard Mansbridge make those comments and it seems to me like it was swept under the rug very quickly. I'm hoping a recording surfaces as well.

Did Figure Skating/Luge air earlier and this is just a rerun on NBC right now? I didn't see this earlier so I don't know.

Figure Skating is boring as gently caress to watch but I can't wait to see Luge.

Any Australians know some good alternate streams other than the Channel Ten ones? They've got 8 different streams!!!

But 5 seem to be offline at the moment and it seemed a similar situation when I tried last night, with one of the live streams showing a looping video and two showing actual events.

I read some articles estimating many of the events have 20-30 percent free and it's not surprising how even during opening ceremonies there seemed to be lots of empty seats.

The speeds are standard for men's downhill competition, but the course is really icy and has ludicrous jumps, even after they cut away part of a hump after everybody complained that it was way too unsafe

haha that guy bonked himself in the dink with his ski pole

116 km/h down a frozen slope wearing only skintight clothing, that seems like it'd be conductive to a long and fruitful life.
