            I have been trying to watch mostly using the NBC Olympics streaming app (using Fire Stick, or Roku), and it has been terrible. Just unwatchable. They try to insert ads into the coverage, but NBC is so terrible at it that they ruin the coverage. They cut away from the broadcast during important parts of races, for one x-country ski race I was watching, I couldn't see the winner cross the finish line, because they cut to commercial. For short track they were inserting commercials between each race. Well, the **** races last 30 seconds each, so it is all commercials. Add to that, they cut away too quick, so when a skater is under review for a penalty, etc. they cut away before the explanation is given, and you get back to coverage right when the next race is starting with no explanation. They won't let you fast forward through the ads on the app either. They really are ****ing this up.

              They’ve been that bad for about 12-16 years. It’s gotten worse lately though.

                I think they are doing it remotely and the times are preprogrammed. So when an event gets delayed - like snowboarding - the time extends past the window they had reserved for the event. I noticed the coverage cut out and I was stuck with a loading bar on my screen that never loaded. When I exited out the option to go back to that event was gone and had been replaced. The commercials are played haphazardly too.

                This morning I was trying to explain curling to my mother which was hard enough, but nigh impossible since the audio was about 20 seconds ahead of the video. I finally just muted it.

                The coverage on the sports app from Rio was excellent. This is a huge disappointment.

                  Curling boiled down to its essence: object is to get as close to the center as possible. Only one team can score per end. They get one point for every stone in the scoring rings that is closer than the opponent's closest stone.

                              And their national anthem can never be played. And if any Russian athlete so much as attempts to display their national colors in any way or form, they can be disqualified.
