Indeed.
I'm not sure how the US coverage will be doing it, but I'll be able to watch mostly live events by going to a schedule of naps for a couple weeks. Wake up at 3 am, watch coverage until around noon, nap during the Chinese overnight hours, wake back up for primetime coverage, then another short nap between ~1-3 am. Rinse, repeat.
Yeah, doing that will probably f' me up for weeks, but totally worth it!
On another note, the opening ceremony was awesome. Make sure to catch the delayed broadcast tonight!
