Ohmygod ohmygod it's just hours away. Here's a rough guide as to where events will be:
NBC: In primetime, the biggies: gymnastics (this is a blood bath this year), swimming (Torres for the win!) diving (China may sweep every single diving event), track and field (Tyson Gay!!) and beach volleyball (My husband is thrilled to watch Misty May-Treanor go for another gold).
USA: Team USA events on the USA Network. Very clever, NBC. Basketball, soccer and water polo. They'll also have extra tennis, rowing and canoeing.
CNBC: From 5 to 8 p.m. each day, boxing. From midnight to 4:30 a.m., softball, tennis, weightlifting, wrestling and badminton.
MSNBC: Basketball, water polo, baseball, badminton and table tennis.
Oxygen: Oh, look. Special sports coverage for the wommens folks. That's not stupid or condescending at all! A nightly gymnastics review, synchronized swimming and equestrian. Thank God they're doing this: I was just so intimidated by the thought watching CNBC, I nearly swooned into my petticoats!
All in all - 3600 hours of coverage (Including online at nbcolympics.com). Yeah, that's a crapload of Olympics. Watch in online, watch as much as you can live, watch it on DVR or at parties or at bars... JUST WATCH. Cause it's the Olympics. And cynicism about cheating and human right violations aside, it is still the most astounding spectacle in sport.
