What's the US equivalent to CBC.
I thought NBC was archiving the matches, but I was wrong.
Luckily I woke up early enough to catch the event I wanted, but I wanted to check out the Handball match everyone was talking about.

Oops!
I know. But I like watching on the big tv (I could plug my computer I guess...).
Weirdly, it looks like CBC.ca is showing every sports except water polo.
Korea.

There is no alternative in the US. NBC paid the IOC 7.5B until 2032 and they will do whatever they want. I'm missing the NZ Women's rugby game because of the garbage that is NBC. I'm trying to figure out how to VPN somewhere else, because I can't deal with this shit.
Live online coverage in some cases, but the BBC commit to pretty much constant live coverage across various channels and media.

Any suggestion how to watch these on my phone? Apparently, to watch live, I need th eNBC Spots app (can't watch from the NBC website). But, on my laptop, I can watch it from the NBC website. However, I only have a cable subscription to NBC, not NBC Sports, so I can't watch anything on the NBC Sports app, apparently.
Basically, I have an Android phone and a cable subscription to NBC, but cannot find a way to watch live Olympic coverage on my phone. Any suggestions? Ideally, I'd like to be able to stream from my phone to my Chromecast.

Do you have Private Internet Access? From there, connect to any of the two Canada regions. That's it! Doesn't hurt to pay some dollars for a month access.

These are some shitty roads the cyclists are riding on.
Aren't all feeds available via NBC online?

Oh man.
Korea dominated after the second set.
Japan is still in it though, although they have a long road ahead.
S. Korea won me over last Olympics with Kim Yeon-Koung, so I'm happy with the result, however I do hope Japan does well going forward.

I found some on now on NBCSports.
If you're able to find a VPN that lets you connect as if from the Netherlands, use this link: http://nos.nl/rio2016/
Hit the live button and you can follow along with every event. A handful do come with dutch commentary though. No ads either.

Yeah when I left Korea was looking really strong so I figured it would end in their favor. Both teams did great so I can't complain. Here's hoping Japan can stay in it!
======================
So we can't watch the women's rugby matches besides the snippets they show in the Gold Zone streams? Laaaaaame. :/

yeah, even online I was watching the end of a match live, and I decided to jump back and see a moment I missed. As soon as the live broadcast was over, it kicked me out, and went to another all different sport. WTF! Archive this shit lazy NBC!
I'm in the process of following these tips for VPN

I guess that's what it is. Why is there a small strip of fresh smooth asphalt on the road that's blocked off? Were they planning to pave the whole thing but didn't make it on time?

Judo's cool, but I don't get it. What's that golden square that sometimes shows next to the score? Just a yellow card?
SDCowboy

You're goddamn right!
Yep, yellow card, if the fighter is not combative enough he/she is punished (I think its that, someone correct me if i am wrong)
Yeah. 3 of those, the opponent gets a point, I think.
Not sure why they left that part open, but it's not uncommon to ride on cobblestones in big road races. Most famously is the classic Paris-Roubaix with 27 cobble sections.

Checking out handball after seeing the posts about it in here. Really enjoying it so far, this match is entertaining.

Why can't they just get 1p per... well point?

It also is applied if the figher keeps doing "false attacks" as well.

This didn't work as expected.
Any free VPN services? Or is it pretty common that you have to pay to get connected to another country.
The Hola! Chrome extension worked great for me back when Netflix didn't ban VPN services.

Do you have a subscription on any of the streaming apps available? That's how I am watching.
