Here’s an interesting article: https://www.svgeurope.org/blog/headlines/milano-cortina-2026-bbc-sport-on-carving-up-the-winter-olympics-with-the-perfect-time-zone-for-the-greatest-snowy-coverage-yet/

It’ll be 39% on BBC One and 61% on BBC Two.
Interesting. So it'll be BBC1 mostly until the early evening and BBC2 in the evenings. I'm wonder whether to get TNT sports for the month but unlikely as it's £30.99 which is insanely expensive. This view is amazing.

Don't bother; the BBC have confirmed they will be able to show everything on iPlayer.

It is amazing!

Perfect!
I saw some advertising for Team GB at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics earlier in Morrisons which was very exciting and shows the Olympics are getting close.

I've decided to get Discovery+ as I'm annoyed that the Snowboarding coverage is delayed, even before the Opening Ceremony. It's actually only £3.99 which is quite cheap.
