Does anyone know where on the web the ceremonies will be broadcast live and in English? I think NBC is only doing tape delay.

Of course. There's nothing else for them to put on. NHL season is over, Kids in the Hall haven't been on in years...

The Calderon was lit by former gymnast Li Ning. That is a very ironic name for a gymnast, Li Ning.

At any rate, its good to see that the Chinese Taipei team received a warm and loud reception from the Beijing crowd. I was worried that there would be some hefty booing going on. Maybe they didn't know that it was Taiwan.
