Irrelevant, but did Seven give that a run somewhere this year? I don’t think they did. Used to be a regular around their Winter Olympics the years they had rights, pretty sure they did before Pyeongchang. I did notice them airing Eddie the Eagle a couple of weeks ago though.
I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. We’ve had other sporting triumphs made into movies quicker (like Michelle Payne’s 2015 Melbourne Cup win, which was turned into a film in 2019 - Ride Like A Girl), among others. I cannot wait until the Steven Bradbury movie finally gets released.

Do we know sevens plans for the Paralympics? Hope it better than 2018 when they only aired a short highlights package and no coverage of the Ceremonies
The Winter Paralympics begin on Friday 4 March. Assuming the Opening Ceremony is on a late airing like The Winter Olympics a week+ ago? I hope it airs here, even if its on 7two.
Surely a panel type highlights show can air? Maybe an “afternoon edition” on 7two, and a late airing on Seven, before or after The Latest?
