i looked online last night on nbcolympics and it was confusing. i had them send me an email alert 1/2 hr before the event starts. but i'm still confused as to where to tune in.

my wife looked at that site yesterday. she couldn't figure out how to find an event. she really wants to check out gymnastics and swimming, but she was having trouble finding it.

if you scroll down on the listing link there are little "icons" of the events and it'll show when the event will air...NBC is trying so hard to cover everything that they will end up confusing everyone

If you guys want to watch replays of anything, click on the sport you want, and then on the sidebar click "Videos" and videos involving your chosen sport will show up. You have to install MS Silverlight, and it doesn't work on Mac. It works OK though, and I watched almost all of the Track Cycling events this way.
