NBC opens Olympics with ‘worst hand imaginable’

Last year, NBC Sports executives called the Tokyo Olympics their most challenging undertaking ever.

Now that experience is starting to look like a cakewalk.

For this month’s Winter Games in Beijing, NBC confronts an even trickier mix of challenges, threatening to diminish one of the network’s signature products and one of the last major draws to broadcast television.

The rising political tensions between the United States and China, including over China’s human rights abuses, add a troubling cloud to a typically feel-good spectacle.
