The World Competes

Watch the Youth Olympics today.

The first ever Youth Olympic Games starts today. I have not posted about it a lot lately because I wasn’t sure how people were going to watch it. You can watch about any sport that you want on television today… you can even watch the Visa Gymnastics Championships… but you can’t watch the Youth Olympics on television. I’m not sure why NBC isn’t playing even the opening ceremonies on any of its stations, but evidently infomercials are going to attract more interest.

If you live in the US, it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to Tivo the Youth Olympics. Or watch it on your television. Which is a shame; I like to use my exercise bike while watching sports. However, you can watch it on the Internet. You don’t even have to catch it live (which is good, because the opening ceremonies were on at 2 AM Arizona time/5 AM Eastern time). Head on over to the Youth Olympics Broadcasting page and you can watch them on demand. The opening ceremonies are already on.

Now, it’s nice that you can watch these on your computer… maybe by the 2012 Innsbruck games, we can get some of the events on the television too.
