In effort to save you the time that it takes to both find and decipher the NBC Olympics schedule while trying to figure out which events are even worth watching, we've created our own (better) daily schedule of Olympic events. All events are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (no math) at the time that they actually occur (no primetime delay) with occasional links to live streams (no googling). Medal events will be bolded. Go ahead, watch at work. We probably value your time more than your boss does anyway.
