If you're not catching the games on television, then keep track on the olympics official website.

It seems China is in the lead with the most medals, followed by Australia and Japan.

The following site also gives some background on the olympics, the different stadiums they use and the doping center.

Big up Jamaica!!

I'm kinda upset that I can't watch it on NBC as my cable company apparently has to block it out because CVM has some exclusive rights or the other. The sad thing is that CVM doesn't show it all the while. I'd like the day when there are as many channels showing the Olympics as there are events simultaneously taking place.

Chris, TVJ also shows it. So either TVJ and CVM has exclusive rights to show it or the cable companies just turned against thier customers. :mad:

I also hear that NBC do not live stream the Olympics on the internet because they dont want to pull folks from the NBC Tv station.... a good place to keep up is:

That nbc olympics site tends to be USA oriented (duh). Hard to find any info about any other team except for the US team.
