SparkleSalad Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 As embarrassing as a lot of Australian coverage of the Olympics is, I can at least take a tiny little bit of pride in the fact that they can pronounce his name correctly. Link to comment

Seriously though, I will never get the mangling of his name. Or rather all right, first name, may be a tad tricky for some but his surname? How do we get from it to what was it once, Hamuila? I mean ... point A, point B ... does not compute. It is funny though and never ending! Link to comment

Winnie_20 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 My local newspaper got Yuzu's name right! And "Yuzuru Hanyu versus the rest". Link to comment

Expand They will definitely have better fact cheking and proofreading than the ones currently appearing... ( I cannot believe that a friggin fanfic author writes a chapter for a month because of the fact checking-I repeat, in a fanfic- while they just produce...this and serve it to a much much wider public...)

We're not exactly a nation passionate about winter sports, sadly (they had a delayed broadcast of Worlds last year though, I was shocked). I'm rolling my eyes at the incorrect name coverage. Having been a media and journalism student, I can't believe people get paid for this when we were RAKED OVER THE COALS about copyediting. I'm also highkey sideeyeing at how it's usually Asian names, no matter how short (how do you screw up Uno for instance especially since he won the SP but get looong European surnames right?? HM) or misidentifying Asian skaters Link to comment

If you download the 7olympics app you can watch dedicated streams for each event, though. You can cast to Apple TV and, I think, chromecast if you want to watch on a bigger screen. Link to comment
