Anyone know of the schedule for TV coverage of any of the Olympic Shooting Events?

From coverage of previous Olympics, it's complicated to program the DVR to catch what you want.

The Winter Olympics coverage was slightly better, you could schedule in general way, but you only could set things up 36-48 hours in advance. And, it helped if you had access to every NBC channel--so that was NBC, NBC Sports, Bravo, and MSMBC all had coverage of hockey & curling. Biathlon coverage was limited mostly because that's hard to televise a cross-country ski through the woods to a set of shooting butts as whatever the athlete's schedule was. Even as a fan, I appreciated the problem of trying to keep eyeballs on the action.

Biathlon is covered on TV regularly. The Olympic channel shows biathlon regularly during the season. Here's a sample of biathlon on TV:

LoL. I get a pile of Sports channels, but, that's not one in my choices (unless I pay extra [])

There's still the possibility of the games getting cancelled with the surge in Covid.

We've got to keep this thread on track about shooting events, or I'll have to close it.

Just a heads-up to people reading those schedules: Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of US Eastern Time. (14 ahead in the fall/winter because Japan doesn't do Daylight Savings Time). So when the schedule says "8:30 a.m. Friday local time" (Tokyo), that's 7:30 p.m. Thursday in US Eastern Time. Add 1 hour to that difference for each US time zone east-to-west:

Central: 14
Mountain: 15
Pacific: 16

Doubt our networks would cover that.

Mary Tucker from my home town came in 6th in 10m air. Her high school team practices rimfire at my range. A number of kids from that team have gotten full rides in major colleges for shooting.

Most Olympic medals by countries in shooting events over the years.

 

[jmorris]

I wonder if they could have come up with a slower way to convey the information.

Seems like a line graph with a line per country, vertical for medals and horizontal by year would be instant vs the 2:22 I made it through before thinking the format was way too slow.
