One year until Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics/ Bob Costas steps down

One year from today the world will gather in Pyeongchang, South Korea for the games of the XXIII Winter Olympiad. The games will be held from February 9-25, 2018. Looking forward to another great Olympics!


Also today, NBC Olympics studio host Bob Costas has stepped down as primetime Olympics studio host. Mike Tirico will take over Olympic studio duties starting with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Costas had been the NBC Olympics prime time host since 1992.
Bob Costas will be missed. I've been very critical of NBC's Olympic editing coverage in the past but NBC's strength is in its studio hosts, play by play announcing and analysts. I'm sure Mike Tirico will do a fine job!
