Grade how you thought this Winter Olympics went

[Lefty]

I was wondering how you thought this Winter Olympics went? Don't base it on how well the USA did but how it was presented and your interest level. I am giving it a C based on how Canada handle the death of the Olympian days before the games started. They should of had those poles padded and after the incident, they did not admit they were wrong but they did pad the poles and put up a wall. Also, the failure at the end of the opening ceremonies was bad.

Ooops. I voted before you said not to base it on how the US did.

A - For the US performance.

C - For the general organisation.

I gave it an NB C,the coverage or lack of it was my reason.NBC has the coverage for the London games but the delayed coverage will be understandable.

Chris Rock was on the Wanda Sykes show last night and had a great take.

I paraphrase.

The winter Olympics are the only sporting event where the atheletes just hope they don't slip.

I'm glad it's over

Chris seems to be a bright guy. Sure he wouldn't have misspelled athletes.

I gave it a B, NBC may have made some mistakes in coverage but the online live video made up for it.

If it wasn't for Ohno getting screwed out a medal it would have been an A

Piss off! spelled correctly

NBC's coverage wasn't the greatest, but I still gave it an A. Canada won the most gold medals and the US had the highest medal total. All the contests were close and the judging wasn't so anti-US this time. I really enjoyed it.

 

[O]

NBC butchered the closing ceremonies!
From a technicial standpoint, it was horrible!

Overall a C.

I loved Curling and Hockey.

I NEVER turned on NBC except for the Opening/Closing Ceremonies and the Gold medal Hockey game.

Thank you MSNBC & CNBC.

Overall AAA... but, I'm biased... and thankfully didn't have to watch the NBC coverage.

We got a gold - happy days

I think you guys did ok, and aside form the hockey loss at then end which ended the thing on a downer, you have nothing to be ashamed of in those games.

No "downer" up here.

Agree that NBC was brutal - the closing ceremonies were pretty tough to watch, i'm sure there were some cool visual effects going on, but I sure couldn't see them

NBC would rather me look at someones knee caps from ground view shots

With the luge track and opening ceremonies gaffe, I think the candians should bring in some german engineering consultants for the next go

then hunting for actual events was pretty tough - i'd like to see some of the actual competition, not just clips of americans ..... if you must tape delay, treat it like a DVR, skip all the lag time inbetween and the junk and just show the perfomance & scores

the competitions themselves were pretty good though so that was a nice balancing point

We were getting all competitions on three associated networks.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

we weren't - much worse coverage than what was provided for the summer games

UHD and USA were pretty much a joke - CNBC/MSNBC did a fairly good job broadcasting hockey and curling, however you couldn't expect to see much of it mentioned during primetime

it seemed like the only thing the actual flagship NBC wanted to show live was figure skating and aside from a couple XGames type sports they were only interested in showing americans competing in skiing and the other sports
