NBC provided 5535 hours of Olympic coverage. US Paralympians get 10 daily video high light package on Youtube. Seems like a pretty big variation. And this makes it very difficult for little observers like myself.
I've heard so much enthusiasm and doubt if the lack of coverage will defeat the spirit. Many people over here are big fans and so we'll see. I may have to rely on the fan's postings to get the best views of the games. Until then, I offer a unique video I found.

Hi Dixie. The Olympics were televised by the BBC but the Paralympics are being broadcast by Channel Four who made that You Tube film. I don't know if it's available in the US but try this site: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od to see more of the games. I just got home from seeing the first track and field morning and it was truly magnificent every athlete from every country was cheered loudly and every other finish was some kind of record!
