Schedule: Local Olympians prepare for games

Olympians with ties to Greensboro and five local colleges are getting ready for the Olympics in Beijing, where they hope the smog clears and the competition flows normally.

We're compiling a schedule of events involving the locals, but there are a few caveats:

** In the case of several events, the best choice for watching is subject to change. NBC, for example, is committing to broadcasting a lot of track and field but can't get specific as to when every event will be aired.

** If you really want to see somebody -- N.C. State swimmer Cullen Jones, for example -- you may be best served by going to www.nbcolympics.com and viewing on-demand video there. Jones takes to the pool at approximately 9:11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10, in the freestyle relay.

** All soccer and basketball games will be shown by specific channels on Time-Warner Cable and DirecTV.
