This is the same channel that had the Olympic coverage that was streamed, right?

If so, the stream used to be here: www.fastweb.it/streaming/raisport.asx ... but now when I click on it, I get nothing.

Does RAI still provide streaming video? Can someone find a link that works?

There will also be two hours of coverage a night, beginning on 9 October, on Eurosport. I think ARD and ZDF in Germany will also take turns providing some coverage.

Keep in mind that time in Italy is -6 (EST), -7 (CST), -8 (MST), -9 (PST) hours than ours in the USA. So programming starts around 11 am for me in CST.

Note: The programming starts at the same time that the new WCSN stream. I do not know which one has the better quality stream. I will see both. The WCSN is supposed to be archived for subscribers.
