The good news is that NBC will have all events Live online so if they are not showing a specific event on one of the several NBC channels (i.e. MSNBC, NBCSN, etc.) then it will definitely be online.

Also US iPad, iPhone users can download a free app "NBC Live Extras" and watch feeds from their favorite sports. Especially if your sport is a commercial TV orphan and isn't carried live on cable/broadcast channels.

So crushing. I cannot imagine not being able to compete due to a stupid mistake like that.

I`m watching the men`s bicycle road race on NBC thank goodness,the Canadian network coverage is pathetic by comparison,the announcers don`t know what they`re talking about.

I don`t really think Hesjedal has a chance in this one but I have higher hopes for Sagan if he can time his sprint properly before Cavendish gets the jump on him.

The BBC over here have set up 24 dedicated channels (all in HD) for the Olympics - it's quite staggering! The cycling is looking to be really tasty this afternoon

Yeah and surprisingly NBC Network didn't use the same technology as NBC Universal Sports Network used during TDF to show gaps, distance left, etc.

Thanks - didn't know that backdrop. If he fails the Olympic drug tests it will make big news for sure.

It`s nice to see him come back from a broken femur last year to finish his career with a good win at this Olympics at the age of 38.
