All I can get is women's beach volleyball. No interest. They announced gymnastics tonight but haven't seen any now. Now swimming, which I am interested in.

Where in the world can one find a schedule of all the events and which channel?????? NBC- misc events, Bravo, (had tennis part of the day), NBCSPH Soccer right now, MSNBC had horse dressage earlier, but only for a while, now their usual Sat. dribble. Are there more channels with Olympic events?

I don''t care who the commentators are if I can at least watch the events I'm interested in. Gymnastics, tennis, swimming, diving, bike racing, some of the field events, I can't watch TV all day, so would be helpful to know when and where specific contests are being shown. This is always a problem for every Olympic -not knowing when anything is going on. You would think more viewers would tune in for certain sports.

They should just let Tim Daggett and Nastia Liukin broadcast gymnastics as they are both very good and know what the hell they are talking about.

When a woman tweeted to Trautwig that he should refer to Ron and Nellie as her parents, Trautwig tweeted back: "They may be mom and dad but they are NOT her parents."
