I thought I could get around the NBC Olympics monopoly by getting a sneak peek at streaming video on a foreign site. Alas, BBC can’t stream to the states.

To tide you over until tonight, The New York Times has a cool slideshow or you can follow a BBC correspondent’s Twitter feed.

Update: The Guardian has some cool photos too.
