Olympic fans confused, upset with NBC for not airing historic figure skating moment in primetime broadcast


With everyone excited to tune into NBC’s coverage of the men’s figure skating competition on Thursday’s primetime broadcast, they were upset to see skiing on the network rather than the record-setting performance by American skater Vincent Zhou.
Early in the evening, 17-year-old Vincent Zhou of California became the first person to land a Quad Lutz at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Countless people took to Twitter to voice their support for the Olympian, but others were shocked to turn on their TV and find skiing rather than skating, as the primetime listing for NBC advertised.Commentator Johnny Weir explained to fans that all 30 of the men competing in the skating competition would be broadcast on NBC Sports Network, with highlights to be shown at a later time on the regular network. Unfortunately, many fans didn’t get the note and were disappointed to find that not only were they unable to see the skating competition, they didn’t even have NBCSN access at all.
