Obviously it was very convenient this time but now in LA, I fear hours are going to be a whole different story for the EU. Are we talking about middle of the night live games? I remember in Tokyo games started at 5 or 6 am which I guess was reasonable.
It means you’ll still be able to see about the same amount of the Olympics, if you work a normal 9-5/8-4.
In LA, the competitions would start late afternoon for us and last deep into the night/early morning. So you’ll catch the first half of the broadcast instead of the second half.
