NEW YORK (AP) — Highlights from media coverage of the Pyeongchang Olympics:
INTRO: The Sterling K. Brown-narrated film that opened NBC's coverage of the opening ceremony was lovely, and an inspired explanation of why you should spend the next two weeks watching people you don't know competing in sports you don't understand.
NO COMMENT: Two-time Olympic speedskating champion Shani Davis' anger at losing a coin toss to determine the flag bearer for the United States, and his decision not to attend the opening ceremony, was an important story. So it was a serious omission for NBC not to talk about it, especially when cameras were trained on luger Erin Hamlin as she led the team into the stadium.
