Olympic spectators using Twitter disrupted TV coverage of last weekend's cycling road races, according to organizers. During broadcasts, television viewers were not given information about timing and positions of the racers. The International Olympic Committee said that fans who were using Twitter disrupted the transmission of race information, forcing BBC commentator Chris Boardman to use his watch to estimate times. Information is typically sent from competitors' bikes to organizers via small GPS transmitters on their bikes.
