I’m definitely watching. Someone needs to watch all the fringe sports at 2 am. We have been watching interviews all morning. Shouldn't you be birthing?

I’m watching some soccer. I don’t even know what’s live and what’s replays. I’m just flipping through until I see something Olympic 😂

yup I got the CBC app so that I can stream stuff and also filter the schedule by event (and see it in our time zone). I did block notifications though because last olympics I would be watching something and the stream would be 30 seconds behind and my phone would ding me with a spoiler lol.

I just want to say that there’s less theatrics in women’s soccer than in the men’s.
I have been watching the leagues recently and man, men are something.

Watching the national women's soccer league is SO much more fun than men's IMO. They're beasts and actually play instead of throwing themselves on the ground.

Also hi I'm here to armchair about obscure sports and bitch about the corrupt and racist nature of the games with you all.

We are watching the rebroadcast of opening ceremonies with the kids tonight after dinner. I really love watching archery. We'll also watch gymnastics and swimming. But archery! Archery is my favorite. Mostly because Koreans dominate it.

I’m here too!
Can’t wait to watch all the things. The NBC Sports app has replays of a lot of stuff that happens at like 2am our time, so I will be using that since I can’t wait till they decide to show random things in the prime time broadcast.
Gymnastics is my #1, followed by swimming and diving. But I will actually watch all and any of the things.

I was just watching some US/Canada softball on my lunch break. So good. It's ridiculous that they brought softball back - and in a host country that is the last gold medal winner - and they're playing on fucking baseball fields. I do like how many of the '08 team are on this year's team. Old ladies for the win.

It’s so strange to see empty stadiums. Watching rowing earlier it didn’t register but the stadium sports are weird.

thatgolfb I know you’re a little busy so I’m not expecting a response here. I just wanted to say that I once had a brand new baby right as the Olympics started and for three weeks they were the very best of overnight feeding and rocking companion.

I downloaded my app too CestLaVie. It looks less complicated that previous Olympics. You make a good point about the spoiler alerts. Maybe I need to rethink turning them all on.

I do love that people almost my age are on the team. Makes me feel better.

I watched every minute of ice dancing that year because what else was there to do lol. Also checking in, because who am I kidding, even without a colicky baby I’ll be watching it all.
