Re: 2018 Winter Olympics

I watched less Olympic coverage this time than I have in years because so much of it was occurring overnight. Which ticks me off...Asia with 3 Olympics in a row.

Ya this definitely sucks. I was watching through prime time until bedtime, and then turning it on as soon as I woke up until I had to go to work. But there’s no doubt the games I’ve enjoyed the most in my lifetime have been in close time zones. 1988 in Calgary, 1996 in Atlanta, 2002 in Salt Lake, 2010 in Vancouver and 2016 in Rio were for sure my favorites because I could watch most of it live.

I think Calgary will win the bid for 2026 simply because NBC paid a metric dumptruck of cash to broadcast in the States and will lose money with 3 consecutive Asian games. Right now we have Japan, China, France, something, Los Angeles, something to look forwards to. Those two winter somethings seem likely to be Calgary and Europe or Europe and Calgary, in my opinion.
