the 2012 Olympic games are underway. While most people will be paying attention
to the bigger sports such as swimming and volleyball, there are 33 other sports
being played during these next 17 days. Thanks to NBC, many of these events
will be broadcasted on NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, the NBC Sports Network and other
channels.
Note: No events being broadcasted between 12:00 am –
6:00 am will be listed, most people will be sleeping then.
Badminton – This sport involves two or four players standing
