Have you ever watched the Olympics only to find that they didn’t televise the event you wanted to see? There’s no need to leave your computer for the next 16 days as NBC has made plans to stream the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games from the opening ceremony on August 8 to the closing ceremony on August 24.
In the 2006 Turin Winter Games, NBC streamed only one hockey game online. This year, NBC will stream 2,200 hours of 25 events live, with nearly the entire 4,000 hours of the games available on archive for North American Internet users.
You can watch the games here.

Soccer seems to be the only event to start early based on this schedule.
There must be a boatload of games.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the debut of the Olympics. Much to my surprise, events in soccer have already begun. I was flipping channels last night and stumbled on women’s soccer...USA vs. Norway. When I fell asleep the score was 2-0 in favor of Norway at halftime. I checked this morning and that shows to be the final score. Men’s soccer begins today.
