As the 2012 Olympics approaches and makes its way into the hearts of fans worldwide, it also captures the fingertips of millions. Yes, that’s right. Fingertips. The upcoming Olympics will be the first ever to stream online. During July 27th- August 12, you can view all 302 events on NBCOlympics.com. 

As if the 24/7 live coverage wasn’t enough, you can now keep track of all your favorite athletes (past and present), teams, and sports at “The Olympic Athletes’ Hub.” The social media platform is a chance for fans and athletes to converse about any and all things relating to inspiration and the olympic games. Interested? Go to hub.olympic.org to start talking to stars like Kobe Bryant and Hope Solo. Who knows, maybe you can even throw them some pointers.
