    I love watching it all. From opening ceremonies through the events and right to the close. The only part I dislike is the constant chatter from the U.S. news "celebrity announcers" constantly interrupting the whole show.

    I like it when the not so popular events get televised, how much swimming do we really need to watch NBC? During the last summer Olympic Games, I was happy to finally get to see Table-Tennis, Badminton, Fencing, and being a former racer, the inaugural debut of BMX racing. Think I'll go see if anything interesting is on right now.

    Try the streaming at nbcolympics.com - a lot of it is just the raw feed, sans witty comments...

    Gymnastics and the non-shotgun shooting events. I don't ski, but the Biathlon is on my list, too

    Well i like all events but NBC coverage seems to be lacking!
    check out this link: Kim Rhode captures fifth Olympic medal in skeet shooting - The Washington Post
    Surely deserves merit, and yet never heard a thing about her!

    Holy cow. Did you gents just watch the men's 4x100 m relay finals?
    Congrats Jamaica for the new wr. Not so bad from US team either but you can't beat Usain Bolt. It has been such a pleasure to see this miracle man, magic speed train speeding in these olympics.
