Medal Ceremonies

[zekekelso]

We have a bunch of cable channels in the US that were formed to focus on the arts, etc. Now they pretty much all show non-stop "reality" programs in which horrible people act horribly.

Fortunately, they haven't infected the Olympics yet.

Although NBC structure their Olympics coverage more like a reality show than a sports broadcast nowadays.

For the handful of us who found the musical piece triumphant and inspiring, there are a number of postings of it on Youtube and it can also be found on soundcloud. The composer Is Maxim Bobkov.

For the first time as far as I can remember the figure skating medal ceremonies were not at the end of the competition, but on the medal plaza like the other events.

Is it known whether this is something which will last or was it a Sochi exception ?

The men's hockey medals were handed out at the Hockey arena w/o even the benefit of the risers. It really depends on the federation and how they want it executed.
