Topic: 2026 Winter Olympics Thread

So with the Opening Ceremony today the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Italy are underway. Who's watching and more importantly what will you be watching? I will be watching Hockey, the skiing events as well as snowboarding, bobsled and of course curling.

Feel free to discuss the 2026 Winter Olympics here!!

A friend took me to a hockey game last year, and been following it ever since. For me, going to try and tune in for hockey. Already watched one of the early games from the women's division this morning, Peacock was livestreaming it. It was Switzerland vs Czechia playing this morning, that shootout was close.

Also, some of the men's players are from the team I saw in person last year, the New York Rangers. So it's cool I've seen them play in person.

Normally, I strongly dislike watching live sports, but for some reason I do enjoy turning on the Olympics for a few minutes. I'll probably watch for a bit.

The Winter Olympics remind me of one of my first N64 games, Nagano 1998.
The last edition I watched was in 2018, in South Korea.

@Sunsy I watched the replay of the US/Czechia woman's hockey Last night. It was a great game. I believe men's hockey starts next week but I am not sure.

@UpsideDownRowlet I think what draws me to the Olympics is the variety of sports and sports that you normally dont see other then during the Olympics.
