Tech Weekly: the Great Firewall of China and technology in sport

In this week's Tech Weekly, Tania Branigan in Beijing joins Aleks Krotoski, Charles Arthur and Bobbie Johnson to expose the reality of life behind the Great Firewall of China: are journalists getting full and free access, and will the level of censorship return to pre-Olympics levels after the gongs have been won and the last champagne cork has popped? Professor William Dutton from the Oxford Internet Institute joins us to discuss the future of online censorship in the most populous country in the world.

In our Olympic Special, we also chat with science correspondent James Randerson and UK Sport research and innovation consultant Scott Drawer about the technologies that could win a haul of gold for Team GB at this year's games.

All this plus the latest on the whereabouts of the Google StreetView car, what's happening with the Yahoo-Icahn deal, how to cope with the digital switchover and more news from the world of technology and the Guardian's blogs.
