August 11, 2024Aug 11 Anyone know why the Olympics seem to start even earlier in the summer now? I noticed Los Angles is exclusively in July..! If anyone is interested, I think it is down to the NFL pre-season and the Sofi stadium. And another fun fact.. the athletics will be held in the 1st week and the swimming in the 2nd week!

And another fun fact.. the athletics will be held in the 1st week and the swimming in the 2nd week! That'll be a change. I'm more naturally interested in athletics as the big ticket Olympics show, but it's always in the second week when fatigue has started to set in a little and I'm not catching as much. Interesting to see how it works the other way around. Timezones for it will probably be awful though.
August 12, 2024Aug 12 Timezones for it will probably be awful though. But nowhere near as awful as for the 2032 Olympics!
August 12, 2024Aug 12 On demand services would be needed for the next two Olympic games for sure! I'm glad that the athletics will take place in week 1 at the 2028 games as that is by far my most anticipated event. I watched a tiny amount of the swimming during the 1st week but really I was just waiting for the track and field events to start. It was a lot of fun watching the athletics almost every evening and I watched it on Eurosport where it was pure 3 hour coverage of all the evening events. Certainly gonna miss that in these initial post Olympic days.
