Well, you'll definitely see a lot less in the way of movies the next few weeks. Here at The Signal Watch, we are fans of the Olympic Games, both Summer and Winter, and will tend to watch whatever we can.
That said, we've got Peacock - and it looks to be the best bet. Looking at the menu over on The 'Cock, they have amazing coverage planned with a menu telling you what all the sports will be, and when. And, I am sure, all of them will be available asynchronously.
I can guarantee I'll watch:
- Soccer/ Futbol
- Beach Volleyball
- Track and Field - all events
- so looking forward to seeing our sprinters - we were great at trials
- Table Tennis
- Swimming
- Gymnastics - need to get a box of Wheaties to see if they're on there (yay, Simone Biles!)
But I'll watch pretty much everything!
Don't forget:
- Dressage - horse dancing
- Breakdancing
- Handball
- Archery
- Basketball
- Pentathlon
This year the opening ceremonies will be in the middle of the day on Friday with evening replays. My belief is that the parade of athletes is taking place on a flotilla coming down the Seine.
It's gonna be a hell of a show. My belief right now is Beach Volleyball will be played in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. They're really using the city as a backdrop.
My default is to cheer for the US, then Mexico and Canada, then randomly cheer for whomever I feel like.
Mostly I cheer against any announcers who think it's s good question to ask an athlete how they feel about not getting the gold. Them, I hope a boom mic hits them in the face.
Anyway, let's go, Team USA!
