When I saw the headline that they started, I was afraid I missed the opening ceremony. Seriously, the media needs to stop telling us what already happened before it is televised. I went to NBC's Sochi website and saw they have news stories about events already completed yesterday. Why did any events occur before the opening ceremony? That was just plain stupid. They don't officially start prior to the torch being lit.

 

To make matters worse, the TV listings for my area code have the ceremony on Channel 2 instead of Channel 9. That makes me wonder if NBC Sports is really 33 in Gainesville. It is too confusing just to find out when figure skating events are on TV here.

 

It looks like I have a lot of recording to do because some figure skating events are televised in the morning. That is the only winter sport I don't think is boring, so I want to watch all of them.

 

OK, enough ranting. I noticed there is a new team event in figure skating. That will be interesting to watch. I did not know they added it to the long list of figure skating events.
