On the up side, the road cycling test event went well... oh wait, it didn't. International cycling event touted as CWG trial flops

Sorry, by Track i ment Track Cycling team. My mind is usually on cycling.

A large chunk of the British track team won't be there due to olympic 2012 qualification events clashing, and then the UCI Road Cycling world championships also clashing.

Webcast of YOG Opening Ceremony
gdodds replied to DesmondChan's topic in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games

gdodds replied to SkiFreak's topic in Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
Let's hope the websites stay online, it's almost like an "online museum" of the games. If would be great to perhaps see the IOC take the websites as well and put them on their server, but thats not going to happen -
I can really see so many european nations being excited to watch Montenegro play.

How rare is that pin. I came across it easily, it's now the pride of my vancouver collection, next to the round one with all the flags on it.

Ceremonies at Floating Stadium
gdodds replied to Mau2010's topic in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
I noticed in an IOC press release it said that the games would be streamed live and on demand on Singapore 2010's website and the IOC's site. Broadcast rights will also be offered for free to broadcasters who guarentee certain levels of coverage. The press release have been quoted in this thread:
