Seems ‘where can I watch swimming without Amy’ is the new ‘where can i watch swimming without Rowdy’?
BBC is here for some of you wanting D1 finals without either: https://easytelly.eu/2020/03/18/bbc-one-london/
Vacation in Canada for me.
How confident are we that NBC prime time will cover all the swimming events? I’m trying to pick 1-2 days to watch with non swimmer friends at a normal time haha
Very confident, especially if Americans are winning. But it’ll be chopped up and interspersed with other events.
Is the NBC Olympics website stream free? I’d like to know in advance before I pay for Peacock again.
plz let there be an option to watch a non-rowdy broadcast in the US
It’s Christmas in July to the swim nerds.
2:30? C’mahn. Thats when I swim during the day. Aka- my lunch break.
Will sessions be available the next day on Peacock as well? For those of us who have to work. 🥹
they should graph my productivity for the next 2 weeks. Just for the lulz.
At least for trials, the replays were available immediately. I hope that’s the case with the Olympics.
