@J-IV:

But really, where is soccer and basketball?!

No sure about that first statement, but I want to know the same thing!

The track events are during the 2nd week, so probably starting sometime this weekend

I guess that's well known by now… Also she's (VERY UNFORTUNATELY) not competing in London...

I got more bad news..
apparently basketball is mostly shown on NBC Sport Network. Unless you purchased the channel, no basketball.

Yeah, not too worried about BBall as we should win it all. Luckily I have managed to watch a few Futbol matches. Not really all that exciting though. Euro Cup was much better IMHO.

It's still pool play, though Espana got beat the other day

Thanks. I am aware of that.

My wife asked me the other night why they had cheerleaders for volleyball. I said "why else would anyone watch?"

@Hemi:

Has anyone else been following the Olympics?  We're 12 hours ahead of GMT so I'm averaging 4 hours of sleep as I try and watch every event.

My favourite new sport… Handball!

Olympics?? Happening in London?? But why wasn't it announced… Every five minutes... for the past three months... Oh wait.

However, despite my rant, I am watching some now and then. Seen some archery and a few of the football matches. Kept half an eye on the medal table, slightly pleased to find out that GB has a few more than yesterday :).

I saw one lonely cheerleader the other day in one of the Men's indoor games GBvBulgaria. Seemed to cheer for pretty much every point regardless of which team scored. I think she was either bored to tears or really lonely.

When is this all over? Is there a final date for the 2012 Olympics? I may throw a party…

[bagley920]

August 12th is the last day of competition. Not sure if closing ceremonies are that date or the day after.
