Great Moments In Olympics that can be found on the YouTubes, curated by kottke. Must-see.
Billy Mills and Olga Korbut's are my favorite among these.
And I'd like to add that my favorite Olympic moment at the end might very well be the shot of Walter Dix in the tunnel reacting to coaches and agents congratulating him on his bronze (gained by the DQ of 2 racers ahead of him): "I still lost...". Priceless, so real, and with a sly smile.
I agree natedogg, Bolt is amazing. Good name too. I was disappointed he stopped trying in the last 20 m of the 100 m dash, but he left himself plenty of room for improvement.
My other favorite is Michael Phelps and his 7th gold medal photo finish (and his mom's reaction to that).
NBC Olympics is actually pretty good with the videos (easy to find what you are looking for) but you do have install a little script and I couldn't get it to work on my work laptop with Firefox (but it might be a work thing).
I've come to realize that firefox kinda sucks for streming media. I've pretty much switched to safari if I have to watch a video for any amount of time.
Wait, it's Firefox? All this time i've thought it was the Great Firewall, and had pretty much given up on watching most videos til I get back...must go try in IE (ptooey!) now.
The most important thing in the 4x100m relay is to give him or her the stick.
The handwritten USA signs are a nice touch.

Has anyone else seen the 100m and 200m wins by Usain Bolt in this Olympics? That dude is sick. He wasn't even trying by the end of the 100m race.
Sorry, too lazy to link especially since it would probably have been pulled down by the time you clicked.
