The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

I'm having the hardest time keeping up with the Olympics. I watch everyday at 7pm EST and it seems like people already know what the results are. I can understand if you're overseas but do they air earlier than 7pm? I usually never have the TV on before Primetime TV starts.

Blame the internet, my friend. You can find the results online pretty much as soon as the event is finished, but I guess NBC is trying to wait to air the more popular events during prime time to keep up the ratings.

Most events are over by 7:00 pm our time. I even was watching NBC news the other night and they gave away who won what right before they started airing the event. Pissed me off so much I didn't watch. They just need to give a warning or make you click a page before posting who won what so I can decide if I want to look.
