Is nbc planning on live streaming events on the web or on their app?

I can't deal with this cherry-picked primetime garbage anchored by Bob Costas anymore. It was barely tolerable before. It's in excusable in the age of decent live streaming and smartphone streaming.

yep

well russia is 9 hours ahead

NBC has said that it will be live streaming "every phase of competition from all 15 sports," unfortunately it doesn't appear to be that simple. It's true that you can find all the action on the NBC's Olympics Web site, but there's a catch.


You must be an existing cable subscriber to take advantage of the live streams, meaning cord cutters could be out of luck, although it appears NBC got most (if not all) cable and satellite providers on board.


BC Sports Live Extra app, which is available for free for the iPhone and iPad in Apple's App Store, for Android devices running version 2.3 or higher in the Google Play store, and in the Windows Phone Marketplace. The same restrictions are in place for the mobile app, however, granting access to only those who subscribe to participating cable and satellite providers.

So now they have a team figure skating event?

yup

10 countries will participate. Every country starts with one entry in each category, for the short program; men, ladies, pairs and ice dance. The shorts are scored traditionally, but event points are assigned based on final overall ranking. 10 points for first place, 9 points for second place and so on.
After all of the short programs, the five countries with the most points move on to the free skates.
It’s the same drill in the free segment with 10 points for first place down to 6 points for fifth. The winner of the team event will be the country with most event points from both the short and free segments combined. In other words, most points gets the gold medal.
