I understand why they use that for video (not that I approve of that either way...), but for a TV schedule?? Awful. I'm continually impressed with what they've done on the official site. Web coverage is getting better with every olympics. I love the instantaneous results listing, with details. Looking again at their schedule, they've done some clever things with CSS and link targets, so when you use the navigation on the left to select a specific day, it scrolls up while keeping the navigation in place.

(And they use Flash elsewhere, so it doesn't look like they've made an exclusive deal.)
