    The best part about the Olympics so far were the protesters scaling them heights with the banners. :D

    what da heck is CBC?

    see ( I bet there are a lot more people tuning into NBC expecting to see coverage and are ripped that day time soaps are on instead), NBC's new logo says "Olympics return tonight" :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Canadian Broadcasting Corporation :cool:

    It's very funny to watch the Olympics on a Canadian channel. Their commentators are not quite as enthusiastic when the USA wins more gold medals... But they really go nuts when Canada wins a Bronze. :p

    ahhhhhhhhhhh, we don't get that here :p

    I wonder if Telemundo has any coverage...then again the only sport they've ever shown (74% of their normal programming) is soccer!!

    It's NBC, MSNBC, and then some on the USA channel for me. I'm glad they put most popular events at 8pm to 12pm eastern time or else I'd miss all of it.

    If anybody needs the television times try this: http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_and_online_listings/index.html I'm not sure if it works for anyone outside the US though.

    It's unlucky for France till now, 7 silver medals now but not gold, look around GB, German, Italy, they are all have at least 2-3 golds .

    WOW, those world records in swimming keep on getting broken race after race. The world record was beat in the first preliminary and then again in the second preliminary. It will be neat to see if it will be broken again in the finals . . .

    Well also bad news is that Saina Nehwal is out of the Olympics now. She was leading 11-3 in last set but lost the match.

    I'm not saying USA would have won (since they made huge muffs) but did China get a pass on several apparatus as far as scoring...beam especially!

    maybe it was just the beam but it seemed like their scores were way higher on average considering all the "balance checks" the announcers kept talking about.

    then Shawn Johnson rips her routine and she gets 15.9 or whatever it was :eek:
