Olympic Viewing

The Olympics kicked off with the expected spectacle but now the real show begins. For Liverpool fans there is the bonus of watching how Javier Mascherano, Ryan Babel and Lucas Leiva progress in the football tournament but obviously there’s much more to it than that.

For anyone unable to get away from work to watch some of the action, the best solution lies with Eurovision. There doesn’t seem to be any geographical blocking, unlike national broadcasters like the BBC although, on the negative side, there is no commentary. This might not be a problem if you’re familiar with the sport you’re watching but it can be difficult if you come across something you’ve got no idea about like fencing.

And if you’re unsure of what’s on and when, take a look at the New York Times’ tracker. It is different from the schedule you often come across in that, rather than listing the days and what’s on every hour, it lets you choose which sport you want to see and then provides the details accordingly. Simple yet effective
