Competition Times for El Grande (Jeremy Scott)

After repeated questions about when Jeremy competes I did some research and found the following:
Jeremy competes in the qualifying round on August 8th at 10AM London Time which is 5AM Eastern Daylight time (4am PT).  I looked at the NBC website and they list pole vault qualifying round coverage from 1:15PM to 2:00PM along with other qualifying events on August 8th.
If/When he makes the finals he will compete on August 10th at 7PM London time which will be 2PM Eastern Daylight time.  NBC coverage of the finals will probably be in their 8PM to 12AM coverage on Friday Evening  August 10th. 
These times are for our local cable carrier, so you may want to verify them at www.nbcolympics.com and look at the tv schedule for your zip code.
NBC claims there is live coverage of every event at http://www.nbcolympics.com/liveextra/ but it looks like you have to be a Time Warner or other cable customer to access this feed.

For those who are interested I just figured out that you can go to www.nbcolympics.com and click on videos and then click event replays to see replays of all events and some events live from the olympics.  This might be the best way to see the pole vault qualifying round and not have to get up at 5AM.
*All of this information is from my dad, so if it's incorrect, please blame him!  ;)
