Hey, Chuck. I actually saw the Protopopovs perform at Harvard several years ago. They were so graceful. Boy, have the times changed! At the same performance, I met Dr. Tenley Albright, the 1956 Olympic champion, and now a surgeon. She was very gracious.

Since I cancelled my cable about a year ago, I haven't missed TV much at all. Except right now, though! I miss the figure skating part of the Olympics.
Unfortunately, the NBC website really sucks. No live streaming, everything's a day late. I find it very difficult to maneuver, and when I find something, each little video is preceded by a 30 second commercial. Ugh.
I think I'll visit friends with TVs for the next week or so.
Sheriff Roland:
I don't have cable either - gave it up over 3 years ago.
Live feed from CTV is very pro-canadian, but the I've been watching it without interference since the way-overloaded opening ceremonies. http://www.ctvolympics.ca/video/CTV/index.html
They also have comment-less videos of, among other things, the opening ceremony. I was able to (finally) watch it in it's entirety through the 3 hours + video available at the same link.
edit: I didn't find a video for the pairs finals (it may simply not be up yet), but they had one up for the pairs short program.
southendmd:
Merci, Roland. I'll gladly check out CTV.
Sheriff Roland:
live feed right now, through the same link (TSN) ... the men's U.S.A. hockey against Switzerland. After 15 minutes of play, the score is still 0 to 0
Edit: Just before the end of the first period, The U.S.A. scored.
