Universal Sports-NBC Race Videos

I have been pretty impressed with the video I'm seeing com out of Universal Sports.
Nice world cup coverage, and of course, Lindsey Vonn!

It's a good way to catch up on things. the competition season is so short.
And with the Vancouver Olympics coming up next month, it's a good setup.

There is a video of the women's Super G Worldcup course here. Look for the video

The woman is skiing in course, no poles, holding the camera in one hand. Freakin' fast!

They also manage to show the races the same day they actually happen and they do not edit the start order. I remember when a race might show up 2-4 weeks after it happened and show the USA skiers always at the end of the race - sometimes with single digit start numbers. :lol:

Universal is great..online.
For television, CBC and Versus(still?) have good coverage of skiing and of Olympics.

CBC = always enjoy their coverage of skiing and of Olympics.

Online?

I just got this channel with the upgrade to digital with the new TV for xmas. It rocks. It reminds me of the Canadian Channel when I am in VT. I see it is affiliated with NBC so there should be some good Olympic coverage as well. I like to watch the luge and bobsledding too!
