I assume you Canadians are ahead of the US for whatever reason NBC felt like
I actually don't mind them tape delaying the closing ceremony. Opening though? It should be live somewhere.

The diverse cultural and societal aspects of a country being infused into the ceremonies and being put on display to the world is more than fine, obviously. Doesn't mean that focusing on particular things too much can seem like overkill though. Japan has an incredibly vibrant history that has nothing to do with video games and anime that will hopefully compromise a large part of their ceremonies.
Saudade mode ON!
See you all in Tokyo 2020!
The worst thing about the Olympics being over is no longer able to watch sports that I can only see every 4 years and being told "Nobody Cares". I'm talking about stuff like Gymnastics or Handball (especially Handball). The US doesn't air anything handball here and I don't even know how popular it is globally.
At least the Winter Olympics are in two years and we can see Skiing and international hockey, and bobsleding. We need more team sports for the winter olympics though.
I've been starting my twitter bombarding to TSN/Sportsnet/ESPN, to show more sports shown int he Olympics and don't let them die out..
it ticks me off.
I hope that olympics channel becomes a reality.
Thanks to the Winter Olympics being earlier in the year, the wait between Summer and Winter Olympics is shorter than a wait between Winter and Summer Olympics. 536 days.
I hope that olympics channel becomes a reality. I remember many years ago there was a Universal Sports channel which showed the FIS Skiing championships. That's how I get to see Lindsey Vonn for the first time. Also, I love watching Downhill skiing and that channel aired it.

I don't know. When London decided to turn their closing ceremony to a giant concert of british musicians past and present that was pretty bad ass.
Was just watching that. The Who. Queen + Freddie Mercury on the videoboards leading a call and response.

Handball is pretty popular in Europe and in some sense also north africa.
One champions league final had 40.000 spectators.
Brazil and Argentina play it at an ok level aswell.
There is a world cup coming up in january 2017. should be easy to stream.
The most fun is the olympics and EC though.
Best mens teams in the world are France, Denmark, Germany, Spain, and Croatia Im not sure any other mens team has medalled in the last 10-15 years other than Poland with a Bronze or two. Oh and Sweden with a freak Silver in London 2012.
Sweden was the **** in the 90s though.
