What competitions is everyone looking forward to?

I can’t wait for the Judo and Taekwondo competitions…
I’ll also admit that I like to watch diving and am always in awe whenever I watch those gymnastics floor routines. :gay2:

hockey at the summer Olympics???

wtf

Looking forward to 5 minutes after the closing ceremony when people STFU about the olympics.

i hope to watch some soccer matches

why hockey???

or did i read that wrong

BAH field hockey!

stupid

Field hockey, silly :mamoru:

edit: nevermind…

Seriously, atleast the winter olympics are semi tolerable. Who the fuck wants to watch track and field.

i wanna see more US players get busted cheating!!!

Opening ceremony tonight. I wonder what coverage will be like or if anything interesting will happen?

China’s already been deporting people who have been coming into the country and protesting Tibet.

anyone know the live feed page??? i would like to listen to it today while at work

oh there is only 20 min till it starts

EDIT… all " .cn " is blocked from work so if anyone finds a diff one let me know

Word is NBC will be streaming live coverage.

Opening Ceremony just began in Beijing.

edit: I was able to get the streaming video working off that site.

lol where i have been looking for 30 min now and cant find it

Bah, nevermind. It said streaming video, but it played and it was only some intro bs. I’ll keep looking.

i think they lied to us… i have been looking since 6 for something somewhere :gotme:

This article may offer some tips:

Fing dumb… so it will not be live feed… i should have DVRed it at home

well thanks for the help

hows the pollution and smog?

Ya, seems NBC is more concerned about TV commercial revenue so they are not offering full live coverage on the web. Especially, the more popular events. :tdown:

I know the BBC has independent coverage, but I cannot access it. Is there a way to use a web proxy to access websites that may be blocked by country?

WTF!! Are we living in Saudi Arabia now? Same thing with the BBC.Sport website. “Not available in your country”

I want my internet!
