Ending the Beijing Summer Olympics

The end of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics is soon coming to a close. So far the United States and Chinese have both been exceling in the olympics.

It seems as if the United States will most likely win the most medals amongst gold, silver, and bronze for the games. They already have over 100 total medals. The Chinese will most likely win the most medals for gold.

For olympic fans there is some disapointment for the conclusion of the games. The United States men’s volleyball team will compete for Gold on Saturday (8/23/08) at 11:00 P.M. Central Time, 12:00 A.M. (Sunday) Eastern Time, and 9:00 P.M. Pacific Time. This event will be followed by the United States men’s basketball team featuring Kobe and James competing for Gold on Sunday (8/24/08) at 1:30 A.M. Central Time, 2:30 A.M. Eastern Time, and 11:30 P.M. (Saturday) Pacific Time.

I know this is slightly confusing however this is the times I found at NBCOlympics.com when I checked earlier. This means that any olympic fans on the East Coast in the United States will have to stay up really late Saturday night if they want to watch the men’s volleyball and basketball teams compete for gold. If you are on the west coast, you lucked out and won’t have to stay up extremely late to catch the competition.

However, if staying up really late is not your thing, you can always likely watch the events online on Sunday.
