Olympic Track & Field Schedule

Writing About Running has posted the entire Olympic Track and Field schedule with all US time zones. I've taken their list and made an abbreviated version - just some of the main events I am interested in watching, with all time zones US Mountain (Utah). Check out their site for more events and other time zones.

For me, the Olympics really start on Friday afternoon!

The first weekend of action will feature the men's and women's 10,000m races, as well as the women's marathon. It should be really exciting, as there will be some Americans in the mix in the M-10K and the marathon. And then of course the BIGGEST event of the weekend will be Bolt vs. the world in the men's 100 meters on Sunday.

  2. I am assuming these are the "live" times? Or do I really have to wake up at 4am to watch the marathon. Ahhh crap I better get dvr or tivo or whatever they call it.

    1. Those are the "live" times - but who knows when NBC is actually going to broadcast everything on TV. I imagine most things will be tape delayed.

      You can watch everything live on the NBC website.

    1. The only problem is staying awake past 8:30pm, when everything is on TV! :-)
