What the competition is
The Winter Games combine separate sports and disciplines rather than one bracket. Alpine skiing, ice hockey and figure skating, for example, require different result formats and session descriptions. The Olympic programme is also separate from the Paralympic Winter Games. A dated Olympic mark does not establish which sport, round or session a programme contains.
Following the competition
For a replay or highlights entry, keep the sport, discipline, event and original competition date. A medal session and a qualifying session are not equivalent, while a multi-sport summary can contain several events. Historical local times may help identify footage, but they should not be converted into a new live appointment without a current replay schedule.
