Schedule: Local Olympians prepare for games

Schedule: Local Olympians prepare for games

Tuesday, August 5
(updated Wednesday, August 6, 1:53 pm)

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.
