The 2012 London Summer Paralympics Live on YouTube
Friday, August 31, 2012
(Cross-posted from the
YouTube Blog
)
Missing the thrill of fierce global competitions and awesome displays of athletic prowess? Well, lucky for you, these things live on through the 2012 Summer Paralympics Games in London. The Paralympics just kicked off this Wednesday (check out the
Opening Ceremony
!) and will run through September 9th. This year, the Paralympics are more accessible and global than ever through YouTube.
Whether your favorite sport is powerlifting, sitting volleyball or wheelchair basketball, you can catch all the action on the International Paralympic Committee’s YouTube channel at
youtube.com/paralympicsporttv
. The channel will feature 500 hours of live competitions accompanied by a real-time commenting feature for viewers in the United States and Canada. Additionally, others around the world have access to over 1000 hours of on-demand catch-up footage of current and previous games, interviews with Paralympic athletes and other behind-the-scenes footage.
(Team Canada fans can also be sure to stay on top of their favorite athletes throughout the games and access original content made available by the Canadian Paralympic Committee at
youtube.com/cdnparalympics
or
youtube.com/CTVOlympics
.)
One of the most anticipated competitions will no doubt be the T44 100m pitting South African superstar “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius against British sprinter John Peacock and American runner Jerome Singleton on September 6th. After making history when he competed in the Olympics several weeks ago, Pistorius will return to the Paralympics to see if he can defend his title. This is a race you certainly won’t want to miss!
Nor would you want to miss any of the action at this year’s Paralympics. If you’re like us, you’ll be tuning in morning, noon, and nights, over the coming weeks to catch the acts of sheer athleticism and stunning heroism that we’re sure will no doubt come out of the 2012 London Paralympics.
Happy Viewing!
