Coke has another great commercial this year. not sure if CTV has shown it, but it was on NBC during the opening ceremonies, and it's just a big snowball fight with athletes from around the world and the camera follows a Canadian around. nothing emotional or flashy, just really cool

AFAIK, all men's hockey games will be shown on TSN or Sportsnet.
All Canada's games the bronze medal game and the gold medal game will be on CTV.

So Canada has a chance to medal in men's downhill Alpine, right?

Apparently, Manuel Osborne-Paradis has a good chance at a medal.

Still in shock I spent over an hour watching figure skating last night. I actually thought Pelltier and Sele's commentary actually made me hold off from switching channel. I thought Pelltier was hilarious and refreshing

A couple of our guys have a good chance. The Swiss have a good team though as well.

CTV's coverage of the Olympic Games has been nothing short of incredible. They have involved everyone from their major networks and programs. Mixed and matched such great teams for both anouncing and commentating.

It has just been such a pleasure to watch all of their channels and always have something entertaining and fresh to look at.



Either way, there was a rumour not that long ago that CTV was in the running for HNIC, if this is any indication of the type of professionalism and dedication we would see, I am all for the change.

With the crappiness of the CBC, I would hope CTV gets it. CBC production value is terrible.

Mens Downhill Alpine on in about an hour an a half.

Did anyone see the bit on CBC last night with Mansbridge talking about how they, as a non-accredited network, have to cover the events? It was an interesting segment (just a bit of sour grapes but trying hard to be gracious) with Mansbridge and the other CBC guys wandering Whistler in the evening, doing chance interviews with athletes but not allowed to go in any of the venues, getting their photos taken outside of the CTV broadcast center and getting to meet Jennifer Hedger.

What other events besides men's downhill Alpine do we have a chance to medal in today?

Mens speedskating with Jeremy Witherspoon (who always seems to come up short even when a favorite in these things) is on today IIRC.

We're in 6th place in pairs figure skating, but we still have a slight hope in medaling.
