The Winter Olympics: 18 February 2018 New York Times Coverage

Nightshift Sports:
Our daily feed from the New York Times of  recaps/features on the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Direct Link: NYT  2018 Winter Olympics Coverage
The New York Times has been at this for quite a while  and their coverage is always great and often brilliant.
We’ll put up a link to their summary of coverage and news every day, to make it oh-so-easy for you to stay in touch with the games, the events, the winners and the losers.
To see just how good “old media” can be, we recommend that you read this article from the Times about augmented reality coverage and follow along.

The Games are on. Get all the way into them via new media or old.

The Winter Olympics: 18 February 2018 Schedule

The following events are scheduled for today. Television coverage in the United States is via NBC and NBCSN; there is also coverage on the Olympic Channel, CNBC, and USA network (well done to NBC for putting all of this on air).Check your local listings as programming can vary due weather conditions and programming considerations. One more thing: the visual purity and graphics produced by NBC in support of their telecasts reached the level of broadcast art in last week’s coverage, with some of the most stunning picture framing, color saturation, and on-screen graphics of any Olympics. Very well done.
Alpine Skiing (scheduled but always tentative due to wind)
Biathlon
Bobsled
Cross Country
Curling
Figure Skating
Freestyle Skiing
Ice Hockey
Short Track
Skeleton
Ski Jumping (don’t miss)
Speed Skating
Remember: The nightly prime-time telecasts will feature the most popular events; if you want to see some of the more unique/esoteric events, check out NBCSN, and the other networks (especially the Olympic Channel) which are available all day on air, online, and streaming. Some events at this Olympics have been delayed or postponed, especially the Alpine Skiing events, due to high winds, so NBC’s programming will shift accordingly. We follow everything via NBCSN since they tend to show it all.

The Nightshift: 18 February 2018

Good Morning, it’s Sunday, 18 February 2018,  and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
The United States is in sixth place in total medals won at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Norway is in first place with 26 medals and Germany is in second with 18. Marcel Hirscher of Austria picked up his second Gold of the games by winning the Giant Slalom; America’s Ted Ligety failed to medal in the event, his specialty. PyeongChang will most likely be the last Winter Olympics games for Ligety, who is a four time Olympian and has won five World Cup Championships in the Giant Slalom.
You can see the running medal count with this direct link.
H.R. McMaster, National Security Advisor to President Trump and a United States Army Officer, said that the indictment of 13 Russians by Special Counsel Robert Mueller provides “incontrovertible evidence” that Russia did hack the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections. The Russians meddled. Period. Let the investigation continue.
Israel’s Prime Minister, Bejamin Netanyahu, is under investigation for bribery by the Israeli police. It’s not the first accusation of inappropriate behavior by Netanyahu.
Today is National Drink Wine Day. That’ll be an easy one to celebrate.

Good Afternoon, it’s Saturday, 17 February 2018,  and this is the Late Afternoon Edition of The Nightshift…
Lindsey Vonn did not make the podium in the Women’s Super G. She now looks ahead to the Women’s Downhill, which will be staged–winds permitting–on Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Nathan Chen threw six quads at his long program and Adam Rippon skated a precise and controlled routine, but neither of them made the podium in the men’s skating program.
You can see the running medal count with this direct link.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russians for interfering with the 2016 Presidential election. President Trump’s response was to say “no collusion”. However, the bigger story is that Mueller’s indictment destroys the administration’s claim that Russian meddling was a “hoax”.  Why isn’t the President of the United States upset about attempts to undermine our democracy?
Today is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. Do something good and unexpected, for someone who is not expecting it. That’s the way it works.
