Hi from South Korea

Opening day ceremonies^^
 
Hope that you either took a stringed friend or bought one there to help keep your chops up.

Being in a foreign land might give you lyric ideas for some new tunes.
 
Forgot to add - if you are able to spend some time in Seoul, and have time to look for guitars, head to the Nagwon Instrument Arcade. It's in or near the Insadong neighborhood.

I am all about the ski racing. Alpine, and nordic. I ski more moguls than I race, but I prefer events where the winner is determined by a clock, and not by some judges on some sort of subjective standard. I love freestyle skiing, but more as an expression and event and gathering, rather than as something to be judged. Skating should be the same, as far as I am concerned. The US coverage always seems to over cover the figure skating. IMO. I do love the race skating. Heiden was an early hero. And the newer short track stuff is fun. The nordic racing is also very impressive to me. I don't need for them to stop and shoot guns. I prefer the straight race. The sledding events are fun too, and I never watch those at other times.

Completely agree with you SVL. I generally won't watch many events that are judged because of what often is an apparent subjective standard. Sometimes you can tell...hey that guy fell, probably not going to be good but a lot of time not so much. If you are the fastest down the hill/around the track/score the most, you win, easy to understand.

I love the olympics too but will probably watch a lot more on the alternative channels that carry the less popular sports that will be carried by the main NBC channels

Agreed, unfortunately the events I want to see don’t get much coverage. I’m worried it will all figure skating all the time. I appreciate figure skating, but there’s a lot more goIng on.

We'll be watching, since my wife is Korean we tend to cheer for them. But it's the same situation for me, I never get to see the events I'm interested in and I can't keep track of what time something is going to be shown. I'm sure there's something online I could follow but I'm not big on watching live events online.

Are you based in the US and do you have a cable subscription? If so you shouldn't have had to pay, it's part of your cable sub.

I am in the US, and I get NBC through Playstation Vue. It was weird. It was advertised as free, but I ended up having to pay to watch live. It was really no big deal. It was only a couple bucks iirc. To be honest That kind of works for me. I rather pay a couple bucks to see what I want instead of paying $100+ a month for a cable subscription that I only watch 3 channels on.

You shouldn't have to pay anything this time around - your PSVue account should let you authenticate for free on the NBC Sports App on most connected devices.

Enjoy!
