The Olympics start tonight with the opening ceremonies, broadcast on tape delay from Beijing, China.

NBC will air 1,400 hours of Olympics coverage on television, including the NBC network and cable channels like MSNBC and CNBC. In addition, they'll be presenting 2,000 hours of online coverage of the Games.

If you want to watch the Olympics but are overwhelmed by all that coverage, here's a list of the Olympic events you don't want to miss, as compiled by Steve Springer on LATimes.com:

Tonight: The Opening Ceremony
This is always a big draw, attracting viewers who are avid sports fans along with people who can't tell you what color a gold medal is. Watch for the parade of nations and stick around to see who will be chosen to be the final torch bearer.

Saturday August 9: Cycling
This race, which covers a 52.48-mile route, should be a "must-see" for viewers with a high-definition television, as competitors will pass some of China's cultural landmarks.

Sunday, August 10: Men's Basketball
This year's U.S. Dream Team opens in what should be a passionate game against the host nation, China, and their seven-foot-five star, Yao Ming. For the Chinese, nothing in the Games will be bigger or more emotional than this.

Saturday, August 16: Swimming
Look for Michael Phelps to dominate, as he tries to swim his way into the record books by winning eight gold medals in a single Olympics. Mark Spitz took home seven gold medals at the 1972 summer games in Munich, Germany.

Saturday, August 16: Track and Field
There are numerous track events, but the 100-meter final always stands out, with the winner earning the unofficial title of world's fastest man. The current world champion is American Tyson Gay.

Tuesday, August 19: Women's Gymnastics
This is the final night of the women's individual event competition, where Mary Lou Retton made her mark a quarter-century ago and Carley Patterson did the same in the last Olympics. America's best hopes this time rest on Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. This event is usually a highlight of the Games.

Wednesday, August 20: Women's Beach Volleyball
The defending champions, Americans Misty-May Treanor and Kerri Walsh, hope to be in the gold medal match.

Thursday, August 21 and Saturday, August 23: Soccer
While it is the world's most popular sport, many Americans aren't into soccer. The gold medal games should be worth watching, though, as the women battle it out on August 21 and the men compete two days later.

Sunday, August 24: Men's Basketball
The odds are the U.S. "Dream Team" will play for the gold, as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and their teammates try return Olympic gold to the country that once owned this sport.




RED CUP WEEKEND!
