USA will dominate in number of medals. They always do, but remember they usually send up the largest contingent.

Jamaica should also do well this Olympics especially in track & field.

China right behind them in the medal race..will be close..and for the Chinese anything less than gold is considered failure.

You can check the link below for day by day TV coverage of the Olympics. The opening ceremony actually begins around 9am tomorrow but NBC seems to be broadcasting it in the night.

The BBC website below may be better, it shows the actual times for each event and not necessarily when it will be broadcast. Just subtract 4 hours from the times listed there.

You can download the TVUplayer if you have broadband internet, some of the sports channels may have coverage. There is also livefooty.doctor-serv.com which I use for football but they also have live streaming of other sports.

... absolutely stunning opening ceremony! Remarkable blend of old technologies with the new...light and dark...yin/yang...

I'm sorry for the following hosts. They'll have to enlist the help of the good Lord himself to top that... 8-)
