2026 Winter Olympic Games

I can't get it on my TV. We don't have an aerial and it's not an app available on Virgin. If I subscribe, I need to do it on my laptop or via Amazon Prime, where it's an add on, but is an app on Virgin.

I have virgin tv so what's my options?

Wait isn’t there drama between the Canadian and French pair or am I missing something??

I really enjoyed the Super G this morning - I didn't know I liked Skiing this much a week ago lol.

I tuned in about halfway through, and although I'm not sure why, I really like Emma Aicher, and was disappointed to see her result!

I was happy about her result because I thought she would be a danger! And she's already got a medal and plenty of time for many more. And she's got the technical events to come.

Torgashev’s free skate felt so modern and so much better than Malinin’s often choppy choreo with questionable music choices

I can't find the downhill training on TNT tomorrow. Has anyone seen it on any of the channel listings?

Sorry to quote you again but going into the TNT main menu I've found the downhill training on TNT sports . It says it's LIVE.

Can she do it

 

[Lola123]

Awful song choice. Too novelty for me!

It’s woken me up some of the classical music was putting me to bed

 

[kev1974]

can't seem to watch the Ski Jump anywhere, not on BBC nor Discovery Plus

 

[Lola123]

Can anyone see decent coverage of Biathlon today? When I looked at the TNT planner last night, it looks like they’ve allocated 30 mins for it today, but even the start intervals take 45 mins!

I think the BBC will have it, either via the red button/IPlayer or on their main feed as it’s the gold medal event and there isn’t anything else as important on, can’t say for sure though

We are in Milan! I have friends competing (ice dancing) so it's our first Olympics. Super excited except I am surprised - a little - with lack of information, sign posting, and stuff going on in the city.

The AI slop 'art' in the Opening Ceremonies was gross. Pay artists!!!

It's only just started. I imagine that things will be ramping up in terms of Olympic-related stuff. Have you visited the fan village yet? The boulevard type route that they've set up? The country houses should have opened now too.

I found this BTS clip interesting, it is the guy who is the on-ice cameraman for the figure skating, and he used to be a figure skater himself.

I really like that they’re wearing all white - there was a crash with one of the camera people on the speed skating and I didn’t even realise that they were there as they blended into the ice

Seems a bit dangerous but I’m sure it makes the watching experience better in person

Didn't see it mentioned unless I've missed it but a speed skater suffered a blade injury.

That was a fab curling final, gutted for Team GB but it was a tight game.

I didn’t see it but I read about it. Took a blade to the face and fractured her eye socket.

I noticed a couple of Dutch female skaters wearing full face shields and neck protection. I hope more skaters follow suit.

Ooo half pipe has been postponed till the morning - hopefully won’t miss all the medals

Does it say why it's been rescheduled. Just hunted everywhere for it and found it had been changed on the schedule!

 

[Megansnarkle]

Of course, but usually not outside the top 6. and right now the medalists are skating from every category. I just wonder how and where he fits in there.

There's about 6 skates being done by people who placed outside the top 6.

 

[Mabelsonthetable]

I missed the coverage yesterday, not that BBC seem to show anything besides curling anyway! But is Taylor Lawrence out injured in the bobsleigh or will he be back for 4 man today? It looked like he had been swapped out very last minute for Leon in yesterday's 2 man final

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

Watching the speed skating, anyone else think the cameramen look like stormtroopers in their white outfits?
