2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics

[Run To State]

I like to watch Hockey, Curling, Speed Skating, Luge, Bobsled, Skeleton, Ski Jumping and Alpine Skiing.

[Run To State]

Yep.

 

No clue what's going on with Curling, but I'm mesmerized by it.

 

Watching women sweeping?

Our mixed doubles team had the Swiss team beat, but really fell apart in the 7th and 8th ends. They had a 4-2 lead heading into the 7th with the hammer. Lost that end making it 4-3. Then the Swiss scored 6 in the final end to win 9-4.

 

They beat the Russian team 9-3 and lost to the Canada team 6-4 earlier.

Mixed doubles curling team got smoked by Korea 9-1. OUCH

In Ladies' Moguls Qualification 1. The USA had 3 finish in the top ten to advance to the Finals

 

Morgan Schild (3rd)

Jaelin Kauf (5th)

Keaton McCargo (8th)

 

The top 10 move to the Final 1 round. The remaining skiers compete again in Qualifying Round 2 (Q2). With the top 10 of those advancing from there.

 

Competing in Q2

 

Tess Johnson (22)

 

 

 

Men's Moguls Qualification 1. Only one US skier finished in the top 10 to advance.

 

Troy Murphy (4th)

 

 

Three others will compete in Q2.

 

Casey Andringa (14th)

Bradley Wilson (15th)

Emerson Smith (22nd)

 

 

Team USA still has pretty good potential of advancing all 8 skiers.

So, for those of us that are not particularly bright today...what time can I watch curling? Is that 7:05 tonight and 6:00 am?

All of those times are EST. The 19:05 will be on tonight at that time. The 0600(that is 6AM tomorrow) I think airs live and then again tomorrow afternoon on tape.

 

I believe you should be able to stream them on the NBC app also.

Mixed doubles curling and men's individual ski jumping qualifiers started yesterday. Men's singles figure skating and women's freestyle skiing are taking place today prior to the opening ceremony. Depending on how many competitors there are in certain events and the duration of the matches, they have to start and sometimes end outside of the official Olympic time period just due to the fact that there are only so many venues (ice rinks, etc) available for use.

 

Also, the opening ceremonies have already taken place, but the US television broadcast is taking place tonight. It's currently almost 3am on Saturday in Korea...they are 14 hours ahead of those of us in the eastern time zone.

There has to be a P&G Swiffer commercial opportunity there somewhere.

They were this morning.

 

It will be Feb 10th at 09:05 in South Korea when our curlers take the sheets for the match we will watch tonight at 19:05.
