Hey All,
Well i thought i'd get rolling this week by talking about the schedule of events for ITU Worlds this week in Vancouver. The Junior races go Thursday morning, with AG Sprint races on Friday and AG Olympic races on Saturday before the pros (and the U23's) go on Sunday. The big races are 1 pm and 4 pm Vancouver time on Sunday afternoon, with the women preceding the men as usual.
I will be paying special attention on Thursday to Paula Findlay from Edmonton, who has improved from 13th at 2006 Junior Worlds to 6th at 2007 Junior Worlds. This year? We shall see, but a podium finish is surely within reach. Let's go Paula!
I was shocked to find out that there is NO LIVE TELEVISION coverage...how is this possible? They do have live webcasts but they will only be showing static images with live audio. This is brutal...how does the World Championships have no video? Every single ITU race seems to have video but not Worlds? Hmmmm....
Lots more updates from Vancouver to come this week...check back tomorrow for more, including stories on Vanessa Fernandes, the US vs Russia vs Australia battling it out for the third Olympic spot, and the Canadians trying to qualify for Beijing!
