Now, for our Olympic moment
The 2010 Olympic Winter Games (officially named: XXI Olympic Winter Games) begin Friday in Vancouver, British Columbia, with qualifying rounds of ski jumping and the opening ceremony, and concludes Feb. 28, with the men's ice hockey gold-medal game and closing ceremony. While NBC has paid big bucks ($820 million!) for exclusive coverage of the games in the United States, there are many places on the Web to follow the action and track the medal standings.
Here are some that I've checked out. I invite you to add to the list, as you find sites that deliver good Olympics coverage.
