Nicknamed the "Water Cube", it is an awe-inspiring translucent structure that gives spectators the sensation of being under water while looking up at its roof. •Fittingly, one of these Games' most spectacular venues is the host to unquestionably one of the greatest swimmers ever, 23-year-old Michael Phelps. He begins his chase for history LIVE in primetime in the 400m Individual Medley, an event in which he shattered his own world record at the Olympic Trials and is favored to win. By the end of the week, Phelps could break the record for most career gold medals by any Olympic athlete ever, summer or winter. The current record is nine, shared by Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi, Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, American swimmer Mark Spitz, and American track star Carl Lewis. Phelps, who already owns six gold medals from Athens, could swim as many as eight events in Beijing if all goes as planned. Fellow American Ryan Lochte is the second fastest of all-time in this event and should make this the fourth straight Olympics in which Americans go 1-2 in this event. •Dara Torres leads Team USA in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay Gold Medal final vesus Australia. On the women's side, world champion Katie Hoff could bring the USA its second gold of the night in the 400m IM in what could be a classic duel with Australia's Stephanie Rice -- Hoff broke Rice's world record at the Olympic Trials in June. •The USA Men's Gymnastics Team looks to qualify for the eight-team final and earn a chance at a second straight team medal. Host China has won the last two world championships and will be the team to beat. NBC DAYTIME HIGHLIGHTS: •The greatest cyclists in the world take to the streets of Beijing in the men's road race, an event that provides the perfect introduction to the Olympic city. The 150-mile race begins in the center of Beijing, passes through Tiananmen Square and other historic sites before reaching its conclusion at the grandest of finish lines, the Great Wall of China. •The USA Women's Volleyball Team begins its medal quest against Japan LIVE on NBC. The eyes of China will be on Team USA’s coach “Jenny” Lang Ping, who helped lead the Chinese volleyball team to a gold medal over the USA at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and later coached the Chinese team to a silver medal in 1996 in Atlanta. NBC LATENIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: •The USA Men's Volleyball Team plays its first match of the Olympics LIVE against Venezuela. In Athens, Team USA made an exciting run to the bronze medal game after a thrilling quarterfinals comeback against the favored host, Greece. USA NETWORK HIGHLIGHTS:•LIVE coverage of two medal contending USA women's teams. The USA Women's Soccer Team faces Japan in game two on the road to gold. Later, the USA Women's Basketball Team begins its Beijing schedule against the Czech Republic. •The first gold medal awarded at this Olympics will be either shooting's women's air rifle final or weightlifting's women's flyweight final, and whichever event it is, host nation China is heavily favored to capture the first gold medal at the Beijing Games. Three different Chinese lifters have won the past three women's flyweight world championships, while Du Li is the favorite in the women's air rifle. CNBC HIGHLIGHTS:•CNBC's comprehensive coverage of the Olympic Boxing tournament begins, with LIVE elimination bouts in the overnight hours and comprehensive coverage of the second session in the afternoon. NBC OLYMPIC BASKETBALL CHANNEL•Welcome to an Olympic hoops dream -- The NBC Olympic Basketball Channel will feature complete coverage of all 76 games (38 Men’s, 38 Women’s) in the Olympic Basketball tournament in spectacular high definition, from the early round games through the men's and women's gold medal finals, featuring many of the world's best players suiting up in their national colors.

I'm SOOO confused (that's nothing new). But on the NBC TV schedule, there are circles with numbers in them. WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS? Is that the time or the number of heats or WHAT? HELP? I don't want to miss ANY swimming but can't find just one good TV schedule online. THANKS! If I am reading where you probably are looking, that's how many finals will happen that day. So, circle 4 means 4 finals.

East Coast is,I gather going to watch the main show from 8-12.Pacific zone viewers are also going to watch from 8-12.I guess that means that even though the swimming finals are going to be in the AM so they can be seen live,we're still getting tape delay:dunno:

I have MythTV with guide data from schedules direct. The first hint of swimming I see on my schedule is 3:00 - 9:00 AM. It doesn't list the event, and in this 6 hour block there will also be soccer and volleyball. edit: Here in Seattle I'm getting the olympics on CBUT (canadian station), MSNBC, USAP, CNBC, and King5 I only have 53 free gigabytes on my box, should be enough though. I can delete some old junk to make room.

No news outlets in Tennessee? Just kidding of course. Finals are in the morning in Beijing and therefore aired live in the US at night.

Our TV Guide shows swimming televised from 8PM to Midnight, which means that they must plan on showing taped prelims and heats followed by live finals. If you look on the swimming schedule on the NBC website, there is a choice on the top right corner that allows you to select Beijing time or local time.
