Check out the links at right and below for localizing the upcoming Olympics:

-- Keep readers in the know with Olympics trivia or quizzes, with all the info you could want on the sports, athletes and participating countries found at Olympic.org. Find Team USA info, including athlete bios and hometowns, at TeamUSA.org.

-- Follow the Olympics via social media: Google+, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. Find different athletes' social media feeds at hub.olympic.org.

-- Consider live blogging or having a watch party with readers for Friday's Opening Ceremony. Fans are buzzing on social media about what surprises might be in store. Or post a poll online -- will readers watch? Why or why not?

Also, check out GHNS' Olympics preview pages, TV guide and Sports section for more Olympics news, including athlete news from GateHouse communities.
