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...

It's going to be live here during Dinner time.

It will be over the top. Communist loves their opening ceremonies.

Just woke up, and have been watching it for about 10 minutes.

It's incredible.

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. :lol:
