NBC is spreading its Olympics coverage over 4 network channels, including NBC over-the-air broadcasts and USA, NBC Sports, and Olympics Network cable channels. They'll also have live streaming of a limited number of events on Peacock. Here is a listing of which channel will carry which event for the first few days:

It appears that the road races will be carried live on the USA network.

Thanks for that. With a small town broadband / cable provider, it's always an adventure.. I have Peacock still from the TdF, so maybe I'll see what to do on that too.

Peacock apparently doesn't have cycling - you need to pay for the NBC Sports app in order to stream Olympic cycling events apparently

GCN+ has all the cycling road, track, MTB and BMX. Just use a VPN much easier to watch.

After looking at the MTB course, I see why the new Spark is 120/120. Some of those rock gardens and drops are nasty. A lot of riders on other bikes going 120 in the front too since there’s no huge penalty with a Fox 32sc or SID. Add to that it might be raining…

Here are some good pics from the opening ceremony.

I have grown up always watching and liking the Olympics. Always looked forward to it.

This year I have no interest.

I fear there are going to be some broken bones.

Awesome to see Naomi Osaka light the torch, and look as endearingly awkward as always.
