caveat emptor , you get what you pay for.

One of our fellow poster promised that he was going to update us on the US tv schedule for olympic fighting sports. You know who you are and the olympic is almost here.

Anyway, I put this general schedule together for myself and decided to share it.

It is for US olympic coverage by NBC, et al and the time is EST (I believe). I probably missed a couple showing b/c that NBC's web site interface was poorly designed (yeah, like I was goiing to blame myself if I can't work that stupid interface correctly).

calendar chart (breakdown on the days which competition is held for each event).
