Olympic Spoiler Thread - You've Been Warned.

Since NBC is doing their usual Tape Delayed Olympics shtick, I figured I'd get this rolling...

The US Women's soccer team open the games in just over an hour, so here we go!

Doesn't NBC only ever show swimming and gymnastics?

Mostly. I'm not sure if they had the pull to completely bungle the schedule to get those events live in EST. They did that in Beijing with Swimming and Western Europe wasn't thrilled with that. Not sure how that'll play out since 7pm EST puts it in the middle of the night in Western Europe. I can see Europe wanting medal rounds in early afternoon Brazil time. If that's the case, NBC will offer streaming but not say anything on TV till primetime.

If you have the ability to stream from Europe I highly recommend. Just make sure you have a good popup blocker.

For those who want less illicit sites I recommend the NBC Sports app. The Roku version I have lists 1155 programs in the "Live & Upcoming" section of the site with early action including table tennis, rowing, water polo and fencing. I also see lots of individual matches for soccer, basketball and both beach and indoor volleyball. I think that if you want to see events live you can. The primetime show on NBC will really be edited highlights and emotional human interest stories because that's what advertisers want. Sports fans can go online for actual competition.

The women's soccer games were televised last night on NBCSC or whatever their all-sports cable channel is called.

They also had a commercial during the game stating that all Olympic games could be streamed live at www.nbcolympics.com. I haven't tested that yet.

Looks pretty good to me.

Coverage will be on NBCSN and USA. In the past they have used MSNBC and Bravo among others to broadcast the Games but I haven't seen that they will this year. NBC/Universal has a sizable network presence. They are able to air all 10 games on the final day of the EPL simultaneously.

They are using that at least definitely Bravo. Also, the Golf channel.

But like others have said, all sports are being streamed.

The Swimming athletes are already complaining that some of their finals are too late at night because of NBC's demands.

The US women move to 2-0 in their group with a 1-0 win over France.

US Women about to close out France 1-0

Also, beware clicking videos regarding Men's gymnastics. A French gymnast's leg went snap upon landing and the video is exactly what it sounds like
