POPSGoogle's Olympic Extravaganza Google’s main Olympics page has different designs depending on the country. The China homepage is more colorful than the US homepage. In the US, you can launch videos, gadgets, and see the current medals won overlaid on a Google Map (the latter is also featured on a standalone page). There are stories collected via Google News as well. The YouTube Olympics channel is only available in some countries, being geo-IP-banned elsewhere. “The IOC’s Channel will be accessible in territories where digital VOD rights have not been sold or have been acquired on a non-exclusive basis,” the press release explains. As previously mentioned, another onebox in results pop up when entering queries like taekwondo olympics, though it doesn’t work in every country (I added the “gl=us” parameter to the search URL here so you can see it). http://www.youtube.com/ytsummergames http://www.google.com/landing/summergames2008/index.html
