You are the MVP for linking original quality video clip. YouTube will only net you someone with a phone recording their TV while screaming along. Lol

Exactly. And if super g isn't a big enough sell for MSNBC 3 then what the hell is?
That being said, they have covered the Hahnenkamm well when they have had it. So I'll give them a little slack thanks to that fact.

I agree. Streaming will save the shit show of their broadcasting so they can focus on 4 hours of ice dancing. It's basically dancing with the stars for them and I guess that's what viewers eat up.
I'm guessing Michaela shiffrin will win her 120th title on replay while the Estonian pair in ice dancing puts up an 11th place performance live. 😃

Forgot it was Super g but still a premier event in which I got to watch them scramble to try to figure out how they missed in a Marquee event they missed it entirely. I get she started like 45th, and almost never happens, but even their make up replay coverage was so tone deaf. Like they cared more about explaining why they totally weren't wrong for not staying live.
I mean I might have cut it after the first 30. But just fix it with a good add on coverage. Don't cut back in to explain how right you were. Lol

Remember when the snowboarder Ludeska won Olympic gold in downhill skiing after they shut the coverage off? And had to bounce back on replay to show the greatest upset ever?
Edit- reminded it was Super G, point stands
Yup NBC Olympic coverage is awful if it's not figure skating.

Jessie Diggens back on topic has actually changed the culture of cross country skiing in Minnesota. She has set up camps and has young Minnesotans thinking they can beat the Scandinavians at their own game. I'm pretty sure there are a few inspired by her that are getting ready to be next.
She's a pretty amazing person. Won't lie, got an autograph when she did a event in Duluth after her win in 18.
