Olympians largely barred from blogging

Athletes may be the center of attention at the Olympic Games, but don't expect to hear directly from them online -- or see snapshots or video they've taken. The International Olympic Committee is barring competitors, as well as coaches, support personnel and other officials, from writing firsthand accounts for news and other Web sites. An exception is if an athlete has a personal Web site that they did not set up specifically for the Games. Source: CNN So much for free speech!

They probably just don't want the results of an event to get out before NBC get's a chance to screw up the coverage of the event.

I can relate to that.
