Top 5 Olympic Sites for Following the Games

: Lots and lots of Olympics-related facts and information.

: A ton of great features to enrich an Olympic-watching experience -- all in one place. While naturally centered around news articles from the Times' staff, it also features interactive graphics (), and informative pages for each sport.

While I wouldn't recommend this site for straight results, it's a great place to learn more about the games you're watching. Each sport page features a great deal of information on the sport itself -- including an explanation of the sport, its history, and how it's scored -- something no other site (that I've seen so far) has managed to put together.

: For the first time in your life, you'll be able to watch figure skating or alpine skiing and understand what you're seeing and how it's scored -- and you might even discover some fun background facts to impress your friends with.
