It was worse than you remember b/c Ledecká was bib# 26. I mean I get that only the top 20 is seeded and alpine racing is not figure skating. But come on NBC should've put it on live on one of the gazillion cable channels uninterrupted until the conclusion of the race/event.

Yup, countless example of showing events on tape delayed when it should've/could've been shown live and then not showing the full event but chop it up where they only show american(s) and perhaps medal winning portion if applicable. And also broadcast it where for something like SG event - btw Ledecká won the upset gold in SuperG event not downhill but hey close enough for government work - will be done with showing like 5-6 skiers on tape delay then go 4 minute commercial break then go back to figure skating for 40 minutes then come back and show 6 other SG runs.
The only good thing I can say is, at least with streaming which NBC was forced to do, I can watch the events live instead of only prime time chopped up "plausibly live" coverage.

>The result was so unexpected that US TV didn’t even cover the race.
US TV networks and specially NBC in recent years are terrible at covering Olympics and in particular non-mainstream sports.

It's interesting that CNBC is promoting the price controls and the regulation which are antithetical to what it espouse all day long.

Most of the actual manufacturing of pharmaceuticals is done in India not China. Depending on how you count, 50%+ of the capacity is in India.

You should NOT be breathing burnt kerosene either. He asked where to get kerosene, and I gave him info about an alternative. Anything that burns kerosene "should" be able to burn JetA.

Well, I think it wasn't SG necessarily but the "women's" part was more germane part. Related to the Jessie Diggins, she is swimming upstream in multiple levels competing in women's nordic racing.
