I hope I’ll be able to watch unspoiled. I’m not waking up the first day, and I remember in the past CBC sports would put results in a place on their site where it was impossible not to be spoiled

 

[puglover]

I haven't been watching the curling but have read on line a number of complaints about CBC Gem saying it stops every 2 -3 minutes and is basically unwatchable. They say CBC has acknowledged being aware of the problem for a week or so and currently working on it. Anyone have more information?

It appears that CBC Sports is streaming the curling too:

Yes, but if you click on any of the links it takes you straight to gem. I've tried this with a couple of the curling replays.

Exactly - same with the figure skating links posted on CBC Sports website - they just redirect to the Gem links.

(But if you want to see a more reliable stream of Canadian curling games, Sportsnet+ so far has had all 3 games which I watched without experiencing any buffering. I am able to access the Sportsnet+ stream without additional cost by logging in through my TV provider.)

Unfortunately it looks like besides CBC's main network, TSN looks like it may be the sports network chosen to have figure skating and they aren't listing any specific times for specific sports other than hockey at this time - just amalgamated programming under the title Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Listings I can find for both CBC and TSN shows they are kicking their Olympic broadcasts off with a half-hour lead up to the Opening Ceremonies - so appears there will be no live TV coverage of the first day of the figure skating Team Event.

You may be in luck. The replay links posted so far on Gem do not show any results, in fact the icon picture and the title underneath are identical to what appeared on the upcoming/live streaming link before any results were known.
Scroll partway down this page to look for the replays - https://gem.cbc.ca/section/olympics
You may have to scroll past a section called Highlights before you get to the full replays, but again, so far there is nothing on those link/icons to indicate results.

I probably won't watch tonight's Team Event live either as I have to go out mid-morning. As long as I remember in time, I will go and check for the replay link before I leave to see if you can be unspoiled there, else I will come back and add the specific replay link for you. (I plan to eventually record all the figure skating replay links for my records in case they remain active beyond the time they are posted on Gem.)

 

[Desperado]

After being spoiled by the ISU YouTube channel, I hate the fact that I can’t go back on CBC or Radio-Can live links to watch from the start.

Hate. It.

ETA. I made the mistake of using a search engine and it spoiled me, of course.

Now that the event is over, you can watch it from the beginning:

Happy to see the Team Event replay was also quickly made available on my Apple TV app.

 

[Skate Talker]

Ha - see it has been covered already by @victorskid

If you want to be unspoiled you have to wait until the event is over Yes the replay is put up very quickly, but like ISU event coverage on YouTube, it uses the exact same link as for the live stream - so if you want to start from the beginning and be unspoiled you'll need to wait until the event is over and the link appears marked as a Replay.

It should be less of an issue on future days (after the Team Event is completed) as there will only be one event per day.

 

[pollyanna]

I guess I am out of luck. I do not see a replay for Team event day one on Peacock.

 

[Skate Talker]

So, due to the buffering on Gem I watched curling on the Sportsnet+ stream. Today I watched a bit of the opening ceremony on Gem on my laptop, just to give it another go. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could activate skip buttons of 15 sec back and forward, as well as skip back to the start and skip forward to the end. I could also use the timeline bar to move anywhere I wanted within the program. Hope it will be that way for the skating too, though I hadn't planned to watch on my laptop, but if it has the same navigation, which wasn't available a few days ago when I used the Gem app on my TV but quit due to the buffering, I might just skip the big screen version.

I don't have Peacock but I thought others were indicating Team Day 1 replays were broken up into the individual disciplines, no?

This morning I could only skip back about 30 min in the Women's portion of the team event. Maybe the events were separated somehow even if they showed as one stream?

I should be able to watch the other portions live, but I'm curious about this.

 

[ChelleC]

It's broken into each individual event. You might have to scroll a bit to find all of them.

 

[honey]

Not sure where else to post this, but hoping maybe another CBC gem user can help me.

I watched on cbc gem this morning on a chromecast with no issues. My parents on the other hand continued to have an issue where the feed would start and within a few seconds the video would freeze, but the audio would continue. I went over there this evening to see if I could sort it out and came up with nothing that helped. I cleared the data and cache of the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I rebooted the set top box. Nothing helps. Anyone else had this issue? And if yes, any ideas on how it can be fixed? CBC gem has never been an issue for them in the past and they use it frequently. They watch skating all the time on gem.

I also noticed that all the replays seem fine. All of those loaded with no issue. It just seems to be the live streams.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Don’t know if this has been asked, but will the Olympic team event Peacock tiles be up for longer than two days? I’ll be back Sunday.

No, each event will only be up for 24 hours.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

No, each event will only be up for 24 hours.

Wow, so if I get back Sunday, I won’t be able to watch any of this?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Hmmmm this is what AI told me

Peacock will feature full, on-demand replays of all 2026 Winter Olympics figure skating events throughout the Games (Feb. 6–22) and for a significant period afterward
. While specific expiration dates for individual replays are not always listed, Olympic content generally remains available on Peacock for months to over a year following the conclusion of the Games.

You believe AI slop? Take the risk if you want, or tell your cruise mates to suck it for several hours while you catch up.

 

[skatfan]

What Peacock says:

Episodes of the Primetime and Late Night shows will be available to watch on demand on Peacock for the entire following day after the simul-stream with NBC concludes in each time zone. Full replays of figure skating will also be available for the entire following day after a given competition concludes, and select figure skating performances will be available as short-form clips throughout the Games. Full replays for other sporting events will be available on Peacock soon after they stream live and be available to watch on demand throughout the Games.

The team Final for pairs, women and men is Sunday evening Milan time, so it should be on in CA nine hours earlier ie starting around 11 AM Sunday. There should be a replay on the Sunday night broadcast on NBC, I guess.

Do you know a VPN that works with youtube at the moment?

Do you know a VPN that works with youtube at the moment?

It's probably the browser - try Opera, or Firefly - it won't work properly with Google Chrome.

 

[Skate Talker]

So I have no clue for @honey about the parent's Gem issues, but all the chat about how long peacock will have skating replays available reminds me that I saw a new label on a the Gem replay of the opening ceremonies. Last night it was labelled as "Leaving Soon" and still is this morning. (It's on the original live stream English-only version, not the ASL or Olympic Primetime repeat version.)

 

[Skate Talker]

I should be able to watch the other portions live, but I'm curious about this.

So this morning I joined a curling game in the 7th end, which turned out to be the last of the game, so I tried using the "Replay from Earliest" button and it only took me back to the 4th end. So I guess there is only a limited amount they are keeping in the buffer, but I went out of the stream, then selected it again and was given the option to "Start from the Beginning" and was able to get the whole stream. Go figure - 'cause I can't.
