The Winter Olympics: TV focussing only on men?

[GenderNo]

My husband has been watching the Winter Olympics. I've been dipping in and out of it.

I realised today that every time it's on, it focusses on male athletes? I watch an hour of it today (BBC 2), and there wasn't a single woman competing?

Am I missing something?

DH and I watched some on iPlayer, we watched the women's luge as it was the 1st luge we saw on the list and mixed doubles curling. The options on iPlayer seemed pretty evenly split.

I've watched loads of female Ice hockey.

I’ve been watching the highlights package every evening and there is plenty of female sport covered, plus the studio presenting team is almost al female as well.

It has been fairly split, I am more pissed off they keep referring to the women as girls and then men as men

I’ve watched a lot of the olympics and there’s been plenty of focus on female athletes across all the events.

Calling them girls does annoy me though as PP said.

I've watched loads of the winter olympics and it's evenly split. At certain times you might get three mens events in a row because of the timings of those events but then the following day you'll get the three corresponding women's events in a row so it evens up.

I have watched a lot and agree 100% it is evenly split.

Women's curling team - brilliant - they have had loads of coverage ( I think ) & a gold medal

Lia Thomas competing in a women's competition - Not great in my opinion

Anyone know why Bruce Moaut (silver medal) and not Eve Muirhead (gold medal) is carrying the flag in the closing ceremony?

Countries can now have one man and one woman as flag bearers. Eve Muirhead carried the flag in the opening ceremony along with Dave Ryding. At Tokyo, it was Hannah Mills and Mohamed Sbihi. However, it was just Laura Kenny at the closing ceremony so perhaps they are still only allowed one athlete at the closing ceremony?
