I can watch TIMVision either on the PC or the TV via decoder. But to watch Eurosport on the TV I need the TIMbox, which is a decoder. Then I pay nothing for one year, then 1.99 Euro/month.

You don't need a decoder to watch Eurosport via Internet.
You need however a subscription to Eurosport Player.
https://it.eurosport.com/watch-eurosport.shtml

The decoder can show TIMVision, which gives Eurosport free of charge for one year.
RAIsport coverage is poor.
Tullio

But decoders are only needed to watch coded cable/satellites channels on TV.
And if TIMVision gives you Eurosport on your TV doesn't mean you can see it on the Internet as well.
If using Internet then you have to subscribe to Eurosport Player for a fee about 10 Euros a month :(

RAIsport coverage is poor you say and I think you mean of the olympics.
Same here with SVT Sport not having the rights to send anything at all from the olympics.
Neither on TV nor streamed on Internet.
I think it's the first olympic game that our public service TV don't broadcast the event :(

Marcel Hirscher took gold in the Men’s Alpine combined.
Instead of a Downhill the race started with a Super-G instead due to high winds.
So it somewhat favoured Marcel and the other technical skiers.
Whatever. Marcel's next goal is now Giant Slalom and Slalom.

I had bought a decoder for viewing Olympics through Eurosport via Internet but it is useless.

The wind is ruining the Olympics.

Well the women's giant slalom is rescheduled for Thursday the same day the rescheduled men's downhill is.
The men's alpine combined tomorrow is still on schedule.

The wind is ruining the Olympics.

Silver medal to Sebastian Samuelsson in the biathlon pursuit 12.5km:)
Worth mentioning he is only 20 years old.

A bronze medal for Dominik Windisch in the 10 km biathlon sprint. They all come from Anterselva, the only place in Italy where there is a biathlon track.

Nice show. Now the races! -1 C is just fine, I had read of lower temperatures.
Tullio

It's getting warmer. Next week the temperatures will be above 0 C up to +5 C.
The cross country skis preparations chosing the right skiwax could be decisive.
Norwegians call it Smörrebom when they fail:)

Nice show. Now the races! -1 C is just fine, I had read of lower temperatures.

Pita Taufatofua walks out at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony topless despite temperatures dipping to -1 Celsius.
He will represent Tonga in the cross-country skiing.

Young Swiss skier Melanie Meillard has injured a knee while training in Korea and was repatriated by air.
She is 19 years old and will see other Olympics games.

-22 C in Pyeongchang as late as a few days before the opening ceremony and the race on Saturday.
If a race was decided that day it would have been canceled.
In order to save on the training hours in the cold, the Norwegian Cross Country team has shipped a treadmill to South Korea.
"We are very happy that we have it, the respiratory tracts are very vulnerable. I do not think this will be decisive if we take gold or not, but it's mostly psychology, "said Norways team manager Vidar Löfshus to NRK.
While winter is the driest time of year for South Korea, February in particular is considered PyeongChang’s driest month.
