I woke up berry berry early to try and get some of this live-streaming coverage on video (or ANY video online coverage for that matter), and it seems at least in the US....NBC and NBColympics.com pretty much have a lock on all streaming online coverage of the events.
I've tried all the above links, and get nothing but a picture where the clickable vid would be...and text-based event updates and schedules only. No video feeds for any event....even for more popular events like gymnastics.
I thought I might be able to get around this using the TOR IP address emulator engine...but TOR seems blacklisted on those links if you try link BBC via TOR. TOR works with the CTV link...but it's only schedules and text and highlights from past games, it seems.
You never know with TOR, because the IP address emulator just pulls randomly from an IP list I think (I'm no TOR expert)...so you never know from which country you'll APPEAR to be from...it's often netherlands or sweden, or finland. But I've reconnected from a dozen different country's emulations and still nothing. I'd have to luck out and get a UK or Canada emulation, maybe.
I'll try youtube again...but no luck so far finding much on current or even yesterdays kayak slalom k-1 events or sailing.
Looks like it's back to nbcolympicsdotcom and bazillions of pop-up ads!!!!
