Keeping up with the Summer Games

Now that the Games are underway, we're happy to present the 2008 Summer Games on Google, a site featuring a number of Google products to help you stay updated on happenings. Whether you're cheering for Australia, or living, working, or traveling here and supporting your home country, the gadget is available in 31 languages.

We collaborated with a data provider to make it easy for you to keep current on event schedules and get updates on results, as well as track medal counts with an iGoogle gadget. You can also get schedules and results right on the Google homepage. (Check out the results for swimming). 

We're also including the newest Summer Games highlights through Google News. The Summer Games on Google Maps lets you view medal and event information based on your favourite regions and sports. Read more about these efforts on the Lat Long Blog.

Also, be sure to check out this collection of 3D stadiums and venues created with Google SketchUp. And since we know many of you are often on the go, all this information is available for mobile devices, where Google Mobile is available.

We hope these tools make it easy and enjoyable for you to follow all the action at the Summer Games.
