you're talking about the Gillette commercials, right?
That's kind of hard here in the US thanks to NBC... They cut off smack in the middle of any sport to show us Bob Costas commenting on what food tastes like in the UK... followed by the life story of some gymnastics girl raising from the evils of her family's crack cocaine addiction to shine in the Olympics...
You either A) Watch the event uninterrupted online or B) Wait until 1 in the morning where they might air the whole thing uninterrupted.
MSNBC also has Olympic schedule programming.
I find them to be more complete in their showings.
The bad thing is they usually get the worse events. lol
You are lucky. It keeps going out on me. I have missed several events because it won't load right or gets stuck. I see the commercials perfectly, and then it goes back to the event and I get the circle of doom!
I have no clue why in an event that is taped earlier in the day we still see people standing around or gymnasts waiting for their scores. They could condense the sports into half the time and show a little bit of some of the other sports, but they think they have to try to make it look live or something.
Have fun, i watched what i want the whole day.God bless you son
I got tired of watching women's volley and missing the swimming finals
For the drama.
If you have trouble with the online streaming, try switching the audio feed to something other than English. I've been using the natural audio setting and I've not had any problems. It just seems to be that the most popular sports have this issue because the only time I've had it is with the swimming.
I hope every women's beach volleyball team that wears those god awful stretch pants over their bikini's loses. The only reason beach volleyball is on primetime is for the asses.
I only tried swimming and gymnastics and I gave up. Thanks for the tip.
I am sure almost no one cares about gymnastics but I am happy for Ally Reismann. I know it is tough to be in fourth and not qualify but everyone knows the rules coming in. Griping about Jordan's scores looks like bad sportsmanship. They judged the other Americans really tough on beam and floor, as well. This is why you have the compe ion.
Whoever made that rule about only two per country should be shot. Just crush that girl's dream for gold in all around despite being in the top 5.
On another note how come none of the girls from the previous Olympics participates in this one? The were teenagers.
Not a new rule. Been in place since 2004. It is not as dramatic, but the same issue is there for Kyla Ross. She was 6th on beam but she does not qualify for the beam finals because 2 Americans scored higher.
In the men's compe ion, the three-time world champion missed out because 2 other guys from Japan outscored him. Although I will not be surprised if the one develops a mystery sprained ankle so the other guy can be in the all-around.
NBCs coverage in sucks. Makes watching this unbearable.
Where can I track the medal tally?
Keeping pace with China but they got the gold so far.
Thanks for the link. The Olympics website's medal tally table sucks.

China killed it in golds four years ago as well. Don't expect it to be any different this time around. Especially without Phelps' 8 lol

He's gonna get it
have any non-germans seen the 2nd womens-fencing-semi?
if Fisher can hit the winner in 0.4, Heidemann can start 3 attacks in 1.0!!!
I was watching fencing the other day and the Hooper(sp?) guy...I had no idea what was going on, but it looked pretty cool since I've never had caught a fencing match on T.V. before.
Indoor Cycling begins Thursday. Lots of events this weekend.
China dominating the diving already. Crazy how easy it is for them. I guess getting gold for them is life or death. That motivation really brings out the best in them tbh.
