Who’s watching the Olympics?

February 15, 2018

Doesn’t it seem like the Olympics roll around faster than they used to?  Probably just my imagination!  It has been a nice treat to watch the skiing, ice skating and other ice related sports this week.  If you are interested in the schedule you can click HERE or go to https://www.cbssports.com/olympics/news/2018-winter-olympics-full-tv-schedule-streams-channels-team-usa-medal-count/ on your computer.

One of the things I was searching for this week was how to pronounce Pyeongchang, the location of the Winter Olympics in South Korea.  I found a great YouTube segment on this very topic.  Watch it HERE to learn the way to correctly pronounce this host cities name.

The other research item I was looking for was “who” to watch for in the Olympics.  Having someone specific to root for is a nice way to get and stay engaged in the events.  Here’s a list from the CBS website of USA athletes to watch for.

  • Shaun White, snowboarding: A two-time gold-medal winner, he’s back after a disappointing 2014
  • Lindsey Vonn, alpine skiing: The best female at her sport of all time, she’s trying to win again at 33
  • Mikaela Shiffrin, alpine skiing: She became the youngest slalom champion in Olympic history in 2014
  • Maame Biney, speedskating: She’s only 17 and is the second person born in Ghana to ever represent Team USA
  • Chloe Kim, snowbarding: A Winter X Games star, she’s only 17 and looking for her first Olympic medal
  • Brian Gionta, men’s ice hockey: A former NHL veteran, he headlines the NHL-less team
  • Ted Ligety, alpine skiing: A phenom back in 2006, he’s vying for a third gold

According to this same website, this is the TV schedule for events this evening.
