Spent an awesome 3 hours yesterday morning watching the visually impaired and sit ski giant slalom live from Turin on Eurosport. Even got to see one of my instructors from my last ski trip racing for the US team. The web coverage is good but there's nothing like watching it on a 32" widescreen :drive:

If you missed it have a look at Paralympics Web Coverage - the blind guys travelling at 30mph down black runs have to be seen to be believed. What the coverage can't show is how steep those runs are. Believe me, standing at the top it's like looking down a cliff.
