There’s always something special about the Olympics. It’s one of those things you can talk to anyone in your office about, even if they talk about their cats the other 23 months in between Olympiads.

The problem with events like the Olympics, however, is the lack of access while you’re on the 9-5.

So if you can’t find a TV in the random utility room at your office, here’s 3 ways to keep tabs on what’s going on:

1. Watch online

If you’re lucky enough to stream video without getting burned by your boss, definitely hit up NBC’s site for live Olympic streaming. They also do a nice job of giving you video recaps from the moments you’re trying to see.

2. Seattle Times

It’s about a 2.5-hour drive to Vancouver, and that’s close enough for us. Plus, if you go with a Canadian paper’s coverage, you’ll be sifting through “aboots” and “behaivour” — and that’s not how we roll. In all seriousness, the Seattle Times sports team is doing a masterful job of providing commentary and breaking news with tons of detail.

3. The Medal Count

This is really what it’s all about, right? Will the U.S. win the medal count? America finished second to Germany in 2006, so it’s imperitive we keep a close eye on our athletes. And, really, what better source is there than the Olympic site itself for medal count. Oh, and we know there are some lurkers on TCS from Germany (we track stuff like that) — We’re coming for you!
