Wow.
Yesterday, I watched Men's 10M Air Pistol, Men's Judo, Women's Judo and, this morning, I watched the US Men's Soccer Team tie the Netherlands. That last, I think I watched live.
OK. Enough of that. Back to the good stuff. NBCOlympics.com gives access to video. Full-length, with- or without-commentary, covering (as far as I can tell) every competition. Just pick the sport from the list on the left-side.
This is exactly the sort of coverage I want. It reminds me of when I was a kid. Then the Olympics were about watching normally-invisible sports, and competitors who just weren't that good but were trying. Very different from the jaded professionals of today's Fox Sports.
Anyway, good stuff if you're, say, recovering from surgery, or stuck in overseas, or a fan of semi-obscure sports like sailing or fencing, it's pretty cool.

Argh! They let the Dutch score in Injury Time! On a free kick! Cause somebody decided to kick the ball away, instead of just let it ricochet off his legs! Arghhhhh!
