I'm interested in watching all of the Olympics, but I don't have TiVO.

I am VERY interested in watching all of the fencing events. Especially the women's individual saber that comes on Saturday. The US has the top two seeds in this event and we have a good chance to medal in it again.

However, this event (and some of the other fencing events) are not listed as being shown at a particular time.

TV Guide lists women's individual saber as occurring between 5AM and 5PM this Saturday, the 9th. It comes on in a block with badminton and other sports I'm not so interested in.

Can anyone find what time fencing actually comes on Saturday? I can't watch TV for 12 hours waiting for it to come on.

If not, I'm willing to pay to watch it if someone TiVOs or tapes the whole event. I *really* need to see this shit.

i was impressed with the volume (if not the organization....) of olympic trails video they have up there.
They're supposedly putting up twice as many hours online than they're airing on TV, so you should be able to catch everything there

Thanks, that's helpful.

It's telling me I can watch them online, which is good, but not what time they actually come on TV from what I can tell.

so who's in contention now? the smarts? zagunis?

Jacobsen, Zagunis, and Ward are all fencing in the semifinals.

In 5 hours. Dear God I want to get up and watch it but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Hopefully I'll be able to download the round of 4 bouts somewhere. Any ideas where I can get those soon?
