I can't wait for Nadal vs. Federer
Also, my fave Olympic sports are race & tracks (esp. 100M, 110M hurdles, 4*100M relay, excited for Tyson Gay), Gymnastics (all of it), Woman volleyball (can't wait for US, Cuba, China, Brazil), and swimming, and yeah, Diving too. |

The Opening Ceremonies last night were amazing. The best in a long time.
As for events, I always watch swimming, gymnastics, diving, basketball, soccer, beach volleyball, sailing, tennis and this year I want to catch rowing and water polo.  As you can see, I don't watch anything BUT the Olympics!

I think it's really cool that they focused on children for the Opening Ceremony.
Random question: Is Shaun White skateboarding? |

OMG Did any else just hear about this?
Relative of US Olympic coach killed in Beijing BEIJING -- A knife-wielding Chinese man attacked two relatives of a coach for the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team at a tourist site in Beijing, killing one and injuring the other on the first day of the Olympics on Saturday, team officials and state media said. Full article - http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/olympic_zone/BO84493/ It's pretty long and I'm not sure everyone would be interested. |

Yay! Just saw USA win against Japan in volleyball. I'm annoyed; NBC is not separating each sport/game and I don't want to record everything...

I'm watching the game now and it said live....I guess as always, west coast always gets tape delayed US Women team look sharp but they still too many unforced errors. I can't wait to see them playing against stronger team like Cuba or Brazil, it should
be interesting.

Okay someone help me with this schedule shit!
I'm trying to print up all the sports I watch but the times are throwing me off. On the NBC site I should click on 'Your time' right? And does that mean the time it's airing HERE? Cause if so I need to print a couple of new schedules lol.

Don't go to Results and Schedule. That's for Beijing. Go to http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_and_online_listings/zone=ET/day=1/sport=GA/tv.html
for Gymnastics. And then you can do it by day.
