2012 Olympics: NBC Olympics TV Schedule for Thursday

If you can't leap across the pond for the Olympic games, television coverage will be aired on NBC. See the full schedule of Olympic games on London2012.com.

Grand Blanc's Geena Gall will run in the 800 meter semifinal run today around 2:30 p.m. EST in London and the race will likely air tonight on NBC. Also Flint's Claressa Shields will fight for a gold medal in women's boxing today. The Northwestern graduate will face Russian fighter Nadezda Torlopova at 12:15 p.m. Her bout will air on CNBC between 5 and 8 p.m.

"I've got a game plan for her," Shields told MLive via Skype. "She's 5-7 and I'm not saying a shorter fighter can't beat a taller fighter -- but you have to be really good, and to me she's not really good. ... I refuse to lose."

The Thursday schedule for the 2012 Olympics on NBC includes swimming, track & field, equestrian, canoe/kayak, cycling, diving, men's volleyball, men's water polo and beach volleyball.
