OT: New Zealand olympic flag bearer - Michigan grad
Another cool Michigan tie to these Olympics. Michigan alum Nick Willis is carrying the flag for the New Zealand delegation tonight. He runs next friday in the 1500m.
guide to Michigan olympians over at the Bently site:
He still trains/trained in Ann Arbor, he goes to my church here in AA and seems like a pretty cool dude. (insert "cool story bro" here)
Agreed - I knew Nick somewhat in college since I was friends with a few dudes on the track team. He's a really nice guy.
What about Jesus? /s
Does anyone have any live streams for the opening ceremony?
If you have cable at your home you can login and watch everything live at http://www.nbcolympics.com/
Almost every cable provider is a participating partner in offering the NBC live streams.
If you are a cable cutter though you can try http://atdhe.eu/
They're coverring over 5000 hours live - but not the opening ceremony - can't watch it on nbc until tonight...
...on Twitter. @nickwilis
Should be interesting to see and hear the receptions for the flag bearers from Jamaica (Usain Bolt), Poland (Agnieszka Radwanska), Russia (Maria Sharapova) and Serbia (Novak Djokovic)
