good to see TSN is involved for broadcasting as well.

but it also sucks to see that it's missing quite a bit of other great-to-watch sports as well, like table tennis, diving, swimming, tracks, badminton...these are actually my favorite olympic games. haha

don't know if CBC would cover some of those? Anyone have links to what CBC is covering?

Here is the thread on CBC's Olympic coverage. It has the links to their schedule.

CBC will have all of the finals of Swimming, Diving and Track & Field. NBC will have a little badminton and table tennis during their Olympic Daytime coverage on weekends. CBCsports.ca may also stream live coverage of events not shown on TV such as badminton and table tennis.
