[OLY] Winter Olympics 2026, Milano/Cortina d'Ampezzo

[Capt. Factorial]

It's about time for the Winter Olympics to get going, so I figured I'd start a discussion thread.

Unfortunately for us west-coast folks, sports in Italy are timed pretty lousy for us to watch them live. It appears that a typical day is going to start about midnight PST and finish up around noon PST, so if you sleep and/or work you're probably going to be watching just about everything on replay.

I would recommend that discussion of live events be placed in spoilers; discussion of replayed events in U.S. afternoon/prime time is probably OK out in the open as long as the feed has played on the west coast. (I'm not actually sure if prime time broadcasts will be consolidated or if there will be separate east coast/west coast replays...)

My brother is currently en route to Italy as he was selected to be one of the EM (emergency medicine) physicians for the U.S. Men's (Ice) Hockey team.

That's super cool! Free admission to some premier events and getting paid to be there. I'm gonna have to root for Canada to win gold in Men's Ice Hockey on account of Celebrini being on the roster, but we have a pretty good national team too (which should have had Jason Robertson on it).
