The coverage here is terrible, as usual.
The broadcasters have spread the coverage over 5 networks, three I do not get and list the events like this..

9:00 to 5:00
Equestrian, track and field (finals), volleyball, men's quarterfinal rowing and dog racing.


You are stuck watching hours of sports for a three minute snippet of an event you wanted to see -you can stream over the computer, but that is unreliable.

The other problem is that the world didn't show up to these games. It seems like it's either Micheal Phelps, the gymnastic team or some other US athlete that has a twitter page or commercial deal...

The NY Times has a great daily schedule available. Shows what is going on at the time you access, plus what is coming up later in the day. http://london2012.nytimes.com/schedule

As for livestream, I use http://www.nbcolympics.com/online-li...-28/index.html

Pick the sport you want, then the day. The time shown is the time it will be here - not there. I've been using it with few problems.

I watched some canoeing and kayaking video clips from the NBC Olympics Web site. I didn't realize how fast the kayakers were going till I saw the people behind them following the race on bicycles! Wow! I learned some canoeing as a kid at summer camp and liked it a lot. The kayaking looks fun to me.

I'm enjoying the rhythmic gymnastics team event. To me it's part gymnastics, part ballet and a little Cirque du Soleil. I'm sorry the Olympics are over! I wonder if Adele will be in the closing ceremony? I heard that Sir Paul might be back along with Sir Elton John, the Who, George Michael and Annie Lennox.
