hdelalluvia asked: Would Michael Phelps still be considered to be the best athlete of the Olympics if there weren’t so many swimming modalities in which he could participate? Why are there so many modalities in swimming? Why aren’t there more modalities in other sports in which other athletes can win as many medals as Michael Phelps did?

Researcher asked: I’ve looked at the Official Olympic Reports and while Japan’s torch bearer’s name was written in it, the rest of the torch bearers in the Olympic Torch Relay from other countries weren’t. Would anyone know who the Filipino torch bearer was? Or could anyone point me to a site that has a list of the torch relay members?

WiTcH KiNg asked: I don’t get NBC due to my location. I do get satellite pay channels, though. I have already missed the opening ceremony and most of the sports I wanted to see. All I have been seeing are things like rowing and table tennis.
Is NBC the only channel showing gymnastics? I want to see if I can at least catch the 2nd half of the olympics wih some halfway decent coverage.
I would like to also catch the major water events.
