Some prelim events are tomorrow but the opening is on Friday. Since they're 11 hours ahead of us, the opening will be on NBC on February 7 at 7:30 PM ET.

Even if it starts in daylight, they always have them end at night for the lighting of the Olympic cauldron and fireworks.

Good questions Showme.

We like watching tho we're nervous about the safety in Russia.

I sure hope nobody posts spoilers about events outcomes on the boards.

Well, this is the Q, and we know how some posters are here......But, it would be nice for those that don't know the outcome to be surprised when they watch the different events.

I just wish that the Olympics weren't being held in Russia...... Heck, they're telling folks not to put TP down the toilets, put it in the bins provided.....this is in their hotel room bath.
