About RSS and news feeds
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an easy and free way to get Olympic news whenever it is updated, even if you are not on the NBCOlympics.com Web site.

To use RSS, you'll need to use a news reader - a program that provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. News readers come in all sizes and shapes. Many are Web-based; some send headlines to your e-mail or cell phone. Two examples are Google Reader and Bloglines, but NBCOlympics.com's RSS feeds should work with any reader using the standard XML-based format.

Ready to get started?
Pick a feed by scrolling down and browsing the links on this page, right-click on the orange "RSS" button and select "copy shortcut" or "copy link location." (Using a Mac? Click and hold or control-click instead of right-clicking.) Go to your news reader of choice, paste the link into the relevant spot and you're set.
