If people see the results in the morning, don't you think they are less likely to watch that evening?
Doesn't mean there aren't good races...just that people are less likely to tune into them.
Yea, the huge time difference is a major factor. NBCs coverage has been choppy between live and tape delayed. I do prefer watching on their sister channels and apps over their main channel. Less commercials and more live stuff.

The US aren't first in the medal table. China is.

The table is in order of gold medals won.

That is correct. We've spent most of our viewing time on USA or the app.

my wife and I are typically huge Olympic fans; but man, we just could not get into this year. We recorded a to of coverage, but was just too frustrating to watch. Didn't deal with the apps or any other method other than what came on the TV.

I think we ended up deleting a ton of recordings.

I don't know what you're talking about. According to this, the US has 91 total medals (gold, silver, and bronze combined) compared to China's 2nd place of 74. Also, US has closed the gap on gold at 34-29.

I think it’s obvious that any ratings issues are tied directly to time zone differences. It takes a lot of effort to go 12 hours of your actual awake time to not see or find out the results of a race or event and wait until watching them later. It might be different if the discrepancy occurred such that you slept through the waiting.

Why is walking an Olympic sport? Or even a competitive sport?
That might be the dumbest Olympic sport, although I'm not really sure why synchronized diving needs to exist.

Yes, and everyone cheats.

The main rule is that part of one foot must be on the ground at all times. Even I could see some who are essentially jogging. There are a handful of judges watching, but they can't see everything, and unless it is extremely egregious, it seemed that you could get up to 4 warnings before getting DQ'd. In the 20 minutes I watched, several were DQ'd and many seemed comfortable seeing what they could get away with until they got a couple of warnings.

You lasted 20 minutes?

I lasted like 10 seconds before I noped out of that.

Weirdest 'brush with greatness' in my life. My professor/advisor in undergrad was married to an Olympic Medalist in walking. Met him and got to see/touch the medal at an intern dinner she hosted. Had no idea it even existed as a sport until that point.

Dr. Candace Young at Truman State.

Can anyone confirm when the gold medal USA vs France game is in USA Central time? And if it is televised at a different time than actually played, when is it? They've done a terrible job of marketing the marquee events. Ive read 3 different places the time of the game...all different. And not on my YouTube TV TV guide.
