NBC is fucking awful. Cutting up the ceremony with shitty ads pisses me off. Gonna wait for an archive for an EU broadcast and watch that instead. Fuck this garbage.
 
When you're stuck in a hostel in New York with only a laptop, no VPN, no reliable streams, and the only TV in the building is playing Modern Family on USA...

Somebody save me!

I think the official Olympics YouTube channel will upload it. The London ones are on there.
 
Wow about what the narrators said about China and the USA. Looks like China won the last Olympics (most gold medals) but USA changed the rules to "most total medals" to win.

There's no such thing as winning the Olympics. It's not an official ranking. Countries/media are free the choose whatever medal tables they want.

euhh...Canada's jacket looks even worse from the back. Truely an abomination.
 
I expected ads on NBC but not at this frequency. They're literally going to break every 4-5 minutes.
 
So is there no way to watch this live on the NBC Sports Apple TV app? I'm signed in with our carrier but there's no option to watch live, just upcoming stuff tomorrow.

Wasnt the Chinese gymnastics team that won gold literally made up of children? Like one of their "16 year olds" had baby teeth still?
 
Fuck you NBC for all these commercial breaks. Anyone have a better alternative? Not even Globo is covering it.
 
Are they broadcasting the actual competitions on tape delay again this year?

Apparently not. NBC was able to influence them to push back Swimming to midnight Rio time to show live in America

But if it is a popular event broadcasted before 7pm be sure they're gonna hold it for ransom
