Answer 1

I cant wait for those events to start to  

Answer 2

they will eventually show, but usally they only show the sports where their country have a good shot at a gold medal. or at least have an athelete.

Answer 3

They air the archery team semis, gold and bronze medal matches on the USA network.  It was on at 1am.  You can also go to www.nbcolympics.com and click on Video at the top bar and look for the videos, there's one for men's team and one for women's team.

Individual matches are still ahead.

Answer 4

its lame.. those of us who actually like seeing handball, trapshooting, air rifle, etc.  are left with 10 minutes spaced in between hours and hours of gymnastics and swimming.  Olympics have gone downhill in their coverage of events since say... 1992.  

Answer 5

They usually show the most popular events on prime time NBC.  

You can check other stations though like MSNBC or CNBC--which has been showing a variety of sports like shooting and boxing. I know the Oxygen station was showing the equestrian.

Answer 6
