just a heads up, i read an article saying the bbc iplayer is playing all events without any nonsense. american broadcasting usually has a knack for having terrible olympics coverage, so just throwing up the suggestion. totally free. just need a vpn if you're not in the uk. used it for the opening ceremony like ten hours ago and it was completely legit, no hassle or problems, no ridiculous ads either.
