*on THE internet
*I (not "i")
*Olympics
*Japanese
*comMentary

Couldn't resist...

Anyway try http://www.joc.or.jp/games/olympic/london/movie/ for some clips. I only got that by googling "オリンピック" (which means Olympics in case you can't read katakana).

NHK also seems to have live streams at http://www1.nhk.or.jp/olympic/live/ although that didn't play for me.

Otherwise, you're on your own :I

Interesting, I should watch it in Japanese. Would be nice to watch Japanese coverage of our games.

I'd imagine they'd focus primarily on their teams (moreso even than us) but I'd still be interested to see. Japanese streams never seem to work for me though

I found that when I tried... I don't mind a focus on their teams since in sport I don't really worry about who wins or which team I am told more about.

I'm watching the archery matches right now on NHK (KeyholeTV stream)...There's also a keyhole stream called Japan VS Morocco which was showing weightlifting last I checked.

Yesterday I happened upon someone on NicoNico streaming some of the NBC videos and making his own commentary(in Japanese). We watched a little bit of various sports and when we came to the women's weightlifting everyone got a kick out of watching Miyake ask her coach to rub down her buttocks before going out to lift. Since our host was worried about catching heat and getting banned, he removed any reference to the Olympics from his title and limited entrance to community members only, so it might be difficult to find someone doing this, but you may get lucky.
