Apple News Introduces Coverage Portal of 2018 Winter Olympics in Partnership With NBC
Apple News will be a go-to source for coverage of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, which officially begin with Friday's opening ceremony, although some competition is already underway.
A new section devoted to the Winter Olympics is now available within the "For You" tab of Apple News in the United States, and it will feature articles, videos, and other coverage of the games over the next two weeks.
Apple has partnered with NBC for the new section, but coverage will be provided from a variety of sources, according to Ingrid Lunden at TechCrunch. Live streams and full replays of specific events will link directly to the NBC Sports app, while clips from events will be viewable within Apple News itself.
The portal will also feature a planner for viewers to figure out when specific events are scheduled, and it will allow users to add events they want to watch to their calendars. There will also be a medal tracker and daily roundups given a 14-hour-plus time difference between South Korea and the United States.

If previous NBC Olympics are any indication, both TV and streaming coverage will be 1/3 commercials, 1/3 talking heads narrating emotional pieces on featured athletes, and 1/3 actual footage. Have fun watching 20 minutes of mindnumbing fluff to get to 10 mins of the good stuff.
The only palatable way to watch events these days is to DVR.

I like the app. I do not like a particular story forced on me. I can turn every other topic on or off but not the Olympics? That’s ridiculous.
What if you go to Settings under News and click the option "Restrict Stories in For You"?

Yup. Still not avail in Canada.
I'm starting to think it might be because of the two official languages - unlike US, UK and Australia whose lone official language is English.

Guys, I'm talking about the Apple News app - regardless of Olympics coverage or not. The app was released in 2015 - still not available in Canada.
It's with a trick
Settings/General/Language&Region/Region set it as United States and you will have Apple News ;)

Nice, for those 2 or 3 countries who can use it.
