Carlucci Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Here's a link to a complete(?) broadcast schedule of the Olympic Games. Olympic TV Schedule If anyone knows of a better formatted schedule, let me know. Opening Ceremony is 8/13. So what sports do you follow? About how much Olympic coverage will you watch? I am most interested in Table Tennis and Soccer, but I will watch just about anything. I'm glad to see there is quite a bit of coverage. Carlos.

The girl with all the eye makeup (whose name escapes me) is from the KC area. I'll probably just watch whatever is on. I'm more of a Winter Olympics guy...

Guest Bryan Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I think this is more Joel's speed: I'll be watching swimming and football (soccer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Rhythmic gymnastics, fencing, equestrian events, and diving for sure. May try and catch some of the shooting and martial arts finals. I prefer the winter events myself, although maybe not as much an appreciatetion as Joel has. I did get to luge down part of the run at the training center in Upper Michigan in college, was really cool (man those things go fast, I hit the wall at a pretty good clip on one of the tries).

Jordan_E Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 If the high def looks good, I'll be watching more this time around than I usually do; if the HD bites (and it can!) I'll watch very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Looks like NBC's olympic site has some search options, this one being somewhat decent. Taking forever to load over the 56k connection at work, though. :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Swimming, Diving, Softball and Volleyball here. I usually watch baseball also but the damn mens team didnt even make it capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I'll catch an occasional mens basketball game. I'm interested to see how the US team fairs against the rest of the world. If they think the gold medal is gauranteed they better think again. They cant shoot from the outside and they dont really have a true center or point gaurd. Its a joke really. I mean sure everyone knows the US has the best athletes but as a team I think they will struggle perhaps more than alot of people think. Other than that I dont really have much interest in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Possibly the Tennis, and maybe some Javelin for me. I'm also far more a Winter Olympics person, though, between the various Skiing disciplines, Curling and the different Bobsled types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Not much, would be my guess. Like a lot of you, I'm all about the winter olympics, especially the curling. Fencing would be interesting to see, as I used to fence many years ago. I can see how much I sucked . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJames Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Maybe diving as well. To see somebody in last place do a cannon ball on their final dive would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTello Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Wow, and I thought I was the only person outside of Minnesota and Canada that enjoyed the curling! I plan on watching various events, I like to surf the between the different channels during the Olympics,and getting a tastse of the many events. I don't generally seek out particular events during the summer games. I'm also one of the Winter Olympics fans. Curling, Luge, Downhill sking,... oh, oh, oh, and what's that event where they ski cross country and then shoot guns? -Any sport that requires grown adults to dreg out for miles on skis in the freezing cold, while wearing brightly colored full body speedo's, and then climaxes with the participants hoisting the muzzle of a cold rifle to thier frozen snot covered face, all in the pursuit of a piece of medal and 5 minutes of glory, now that's entertainment! :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I'll be watching whatever is on other channels. The Olympics aren't much more than a minor curiosity for me -though NBC's historically bland coverage is more than partially to blame.

Josh Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Gymnastics, track and field, martial arts... pretty much anything on the HD broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I plan on watching Michael Phelps go for his 8 GOLDS :shock: in swimming. Also plan on wacthing the following events weight lifting Of course womens volley ball And the real wrestling and some soccer maybe even diving. Dish network has a cool deal this year for watching the Olympics this time around. They Take all six of the NBC owned channels and but them on the screen at the same time, like PiP, if you what to watch some thing on the whole screen you can just select it, and toggle back and forth.
