While every news source has a take on the games, we can be fully informed with the following few. Comprehensive enough to be our first choice to visit. Each sport is described in detail as to history, rules, equipment, schedules, country of dominance, and qualified players.
Players have a separate biographical section as does each country.
A kids' page is especially nice, offering a child s version of each sport, trivia contests, cultural exchanges, environmental information, and the science and technology of Olympic sports. There is a venue map and a page for the Paralympics which has its own competition in October. The USOC also put up an official site. Its most interesting feature is the link to each Olympic sport Web site. It also includes Olympic history, education resources for students and teachers, links to the athletes, a Hall of Fame, and the Olympic Museum.
