So we watched all of the skateboarding prelims and then the finals cut off after a half an hour and they said you can watch on NBC plus to watch the rest. We watched it recorded so I was highly annoyed. I found it online but it was hard for us all to watch together. It was disappointing. Hopefully other things won’t cut out like that. I don’t want to have to search so many different channels and platforms to watch one event.

I’m just pumped bc it’s basically the only time I can see eventing and dressage on tv! Loved the dressage the last two days.

I’ve decided to push my twins into synchronized diving. It’s either this or they become child actors. Obviously letting them choose their own paths in life is out of the question.

The triathlon blows my mind. I’m just wowed at anyone who participates in it. So much respect for them.

Been watching the men’s triathlon. During this time I’ve almost made a mask, based off one he was given at school after saying he had none, though there was 10 in his bag, that hopefully my child will wear. Changed a stinky diaper. Had a snack. Done some laundry. So I feel accomplished. 😂

I really wish they would skip the close up slow mo shots of swimmers blowing the water out of their nose after a race 😷😷😷 See, I use that to prove to my kids that it can be done.

The finish of the men’s triathlon made me tear up. The Norwegian who won was just so thrilled. And they said he trains for 8 hours a day. 😳 Those guys looked completely spent but it was a fun race to watch.

They all pass the finish line and turn into puddles and I don't blame them. Truly amazing.

Our local triathlon club had a huge outdoor screening of the event, we went over there for a bit! The guy that is from here placed 15th but was in the lead group most of the race so it was so fun!
That false start was whack. I've never ever seen a false start in triathlon. But all of the ones I've been in or been to had a beach start so running into the water, everyone would hear the false start, rather than immediately diving in and swimming. That seriously would have sucked for those that swim 150m at race pace before realizing and then having to swim back 😳 only to start again!

And I think I heard them say he had a 4:40min/mi pace for his last lap in the run, and running is his weakest leg!

DD was so excited to watch the gymnastics, I let her stay up a little late to watch. She only wanted to see Simone Biles though. Every time she wasn’t on, she would ask “where’s my favorite?!” She fell asleep on me after her vault.

You are all missing out. I'm down the shore listening to my mils Olympic commentary. She seems to be an expert in each event.
My favorite is "oh she is just so good".... it's the Olympics.
And yes there is some bec going on.

Jumping in without reading the whole thread, so I apologize if this is a repeat!!
I am thinking of signing up for Peacock to watch the gymnastics events. Does it still have commentators, replays, and all the extra background information on the gymnasts that you get with watching it on NBC primetime? I want to watch it with my kids without jumping back and forth between events, but it’s hard to imagine gymnastics without commentary from Tim Daggett!

I hated trying to watch the olympics on peacock so much H went and bought an antenna so I could watch free cable. Normally I like peacock but for the olympics I think it’s sucks. JMO.

I just teared up with Oksana Chusovitina. It reminded me of my last college meet.

I liked their wrap up commentary show, but I can’t find a damn thing of individual events TLDR try YouTube TV We have YTTV and I’ve been jumping around channels and everything recorded. It gives the main sports covered in the description and fast forwarding commercials. Someone else commented they have a 2 week preview (usually it is 7). There is an “Olympic Channel” but I’ve only occasionally checked in there. ETA girlmom
