Website: [http://en.beijing2008.cn/](http://en.beijing2008.cn/) Competition Schedule: [http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Schedule/index.shtml](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Schedule/index.shtml) 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: ---

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. ---

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? ![http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p273/jpfenski/Picture1-1.png](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p273/jpfenski/Picture1-1.png) WTF!! Are we living in Saudi Arabia now? Same thing with the BBC.Sport website. “Not available in your country” I want my internet! ---
