Olympics 2012 TV Schedule: A Viewing Guide to the Most Marquee Events Remaining

With the overwhelming majority of swimming competitions done, Usain Bolt already capturing gold in the 100- and 200-meter sprints and gymnastics in the books, the 2012 London Olympics have already experienced the height of their viewing popularity. 

But that doesn't mean there isn't anything left worth watching. 

The basketball tournaments still must be decided, with the United States favorited in the men's and women's side. Golds in many track and field events are still up for grabs and there's a few somewhat obscure sports that always catch our eye which have yet to determine a winner. 

Here's a complete viewing guy to the marquee events left at the Games of the XXX Olympiad.
