The Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina have officially started, kicking off with mixed doubles curling matches, including Canada facing Czechia. The Canadian women’s hockey team will have their debut on Thursday, with figure skating following on Friday before the opening ceremony. Medal events will commence on Saturday.
Navigating through the multitude of sports may be daunting, especially for those not deeply entrenched in all Olympic disciplines. To ease this process, The Buzzer, CBC Sports’ daily email newsletter, will provide comprehensive coverage to ensure Canadians can fully enjoy the Games until the closing ceremony on February 22.
Subscribers can anticipate receiving the newsletter daily, even on weekends, after the day’s competitions conclude in Italy, where they are six hours ahead of Eastern Time. The release time may vary, yet around 7 p.m. ET is a reasonable estimate for most days. The newsletter will summarize Canadian medal wins, highlight noteworthy news, and preview key upcoming events.
A popular section of the newsletter is the daily viewing guide, which outlines Canadian athletes with medal prospects for the next day and their competition schedules, allowing readers to catch their performances live. Additionally, readers will gain insights into the athletes’ backgrounds, enhancing their appreciation of the competitions.
For those already subscribed to The Buzzer, nothing further is required. New subscribers can easily join by entering their email address and confirming their subscription through a confirmation email.
Now, let the Games commence!
