I teach Jr. High Keyboarding and I just made sure that the librarian put all the channels on my tv in my room! The olympics will be on 24/7 in MY room! It is VERY educational!!! They can type and watch and listen at the same time!!!! O:-)
That's Jodie!!

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

The ESPN Classics channel is showing highlights of many past Olympics. the other night they showed the story on Bruce Jenner and the night before they showed the decathlon competition of the 1984 Olympics. It was cool to watch it and then critique their form! :P

We are pretty lucky here with our tv coverage. We can select which event we want to watch via digital tv, so I should get to watch all of the qualifying and final! I think there are about 4 or 5 channels dedicated to the Olympics, which is nice!

Did you just volunteer to tape it and convert it to quicktime or another downloadable format? :D

Hmmm, well it is all available via the internet if you have broadband or faster connection on the bbc website, however I think that it is only available in the UK for some reason, but you can always try it if you go to http://www.bbc.co.uk then go to watch/listen to bbc sport.
