Olympic swimming finals will be live on NBC

Olympic swimmers will be doing their work very early in the morning in Beijing, and that is good news at least for viewers in the United States. All 32 gold-medal swimming events will be televised live, in prime time, on NBC, the network announced today.

That means the swimmers -- and gymnasts, too -- will be competing between 8 and 11 in the morning Beijing time, according to Michael David Smith of AOL's FanHouse blog.

One of the medal hopefuls, of course, is North Kingstown's own Elizabeth Beisel.
