Olympic Background

[theBruiser500]

Hey, I want to watch the olympics but it doesn't mean much to me when I sit down in the middle of an event and I don't have any knowledge of the event or anyone swimming in it, who is favorite, history of it, etc. Where can I find good reading on this years olympics which will enrich the experience?
