Olympic Update

I've been so immersed in what is going on here in Minneapolis that I haven't even thought about the fact that the Olympic (technically) have started already. I watched a couple of clips from the Opening Ceremonies online and it looks amazing...be sure to tune in to NBC tonight to watch.

The swimming gets started tomorrow with preliminaries beginning at 6:30 am Eastern Time. Finals will be televised live in the United States throughout the meet and will begin at 10 pm Eastern Time. I know this is rather late for some of the younger swimmers out there, but it is of the utmost importance that every young swimmer gets the chance to watch this meet. I strongly advocate doing what you can to make sure your younger swimmers can watch the events, and in today's hi-tech world that should not be hard at all as you can watch the races archived on nbcolympics.com...just go to the Olympic Widget at the bottom of the page, select swimming, and click on video.
