NBC is showing those events (tennis, badminton, table tennis, softball, weightlifting, equestrian, boxing, etc.) in its sister stations. I could not find them at first but they were in my satellite at channels 750 to 760. Not everyone has these sister stations though. Nakatago! These are the channels you may want to check out for the other Olympic sports.

USA
UHD
CNBC
MSNBC
Telemundo (Spanish language channel)
Oxygen
NBC Soccer Channel
NBC Basketball Channel

Mahirap talaga hanapin. Masuwerte lang ako at nakita ko noong 2nd day ng Olympics. Ito ang coverage schedule nila:

No doubt this was partly due to Deena dropping out in mile 3 and Magdalena drpping out in mile 12. had deena been in contention, you can bet that the cameras would be on her throughout the race.

In the 10,000 meter run, the coverage was all Shalane, all the time.

I was hoping she will place or Paula Radcliffe but Paula finished 23rd lang daw.

The entire marathon is available at nbcolympics.com for viewing unfortunately it will not allow you to view if you live outside the US. It detects your IP.
