OT: Olympic Events Schedule
http://www.nbcolympics.com/results-schedules/index.html
Since I'm sick of hearing about PSU penalties and dumb things college athletes do in the off-season. I thought I'd start a thread about olympic events.
I'm personally excited about Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Cycling, Diving, and Track and Field events.

And yes, watching some beach volleyball will be amazing as well.
to hurdling...
I am hoping they show some javeline this summer. I attended high school with two of them. Doubt I will see any of it though...
that deserves careful observation:
Women's soccer - first game against France Wed @ noon ET - track & field, swimming, boxing. Possibly other stuff I don't normally think of, but watch during the Olympics.
