I'm not in the US but I've been watching the Olympics on YouTube - http://youtube.com/user/olympic - this is the official Olympics channel.

Funny nobody's mentioned this. Is the channel not available in the US?

Yes, the IOC are streaming the whole olympics on YouTube at www.youtube.com/olympic to 64 countries in Asia and Africa, where there aren't exclusive broadcaster arrangements. It's the full 10 feeds of events and 1 news channel - no ads and full events.

Yeah, going to youtube.com brings a top bar with info on what is being streamed and takes you to the official channel. Works awesome here in India.
