I figured out how to watch the BBC streams in the United States. Probably not that hard for us Bay12ers.

How To Watch The Olympics On The BBC From The US.
The BBC is already aware of it so it's not likely to work for long.

We've got gymnastics here, at the moment. According to the website the boxing doesn't start til Tuesday. :-\
This gymnastics business is oddly hypnotic to watch.

E: Okay, I don't think I've watched pro table tennis before. That was awesome, even if I couldn't tell who was winning half the time. Plus the aussie won, so that's a plus. :)

Have to admit, the opening ceremony made me proud to be British last night, it was a fantastic event.

It's funny, I usually don't watch sport on television, but this is actually quite entertaining. :)
Just watched USA vs Croatia in women's basketball.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

OK then, Michael Phelps v Ryan Lochte (men's 400m individual medley).

Lochte was very comfortable in qualifying; Phelps just scraped in in 8th, but is Phelps. It'll be a surprise if Phelps doesn't get a medal at least.

The fencing has been pretty good. Only the women's individual foil so far, but both the bronze medal and final matches came down to a sudden death overtime minute.

Now back to the swimming and chance of a first British medal.

Just saw a cracking new WR by a Chinese swimmer in the 400m medley. Here is hoping for a few more in the rest of tonights races.

The Norway vs. France Women's Handball match starts soon. Watch this. Even if you don't like/know what handball is. Norway and France are the two best teams in the world.

e: 15 minutes.

I just woke up, but apparently Australia won the women's swimming replay, so naturally our coverage has involved 7 or 8 replays of that already. :P And the race was only a short while ago-- Oh look, another replay!
