Update: wheelchair rugby gold medal game webcast on universalsports.com

This is in reference to the post below about Nick Springer and the US Wheelchair Rugby team, which will begin competing in the 2008 Paralympic Games tomorrow against China.

UniversalSports.com will be televising the wheelchair/quad rugby finals live on Tuesday morning, September 16th, at 8:00am. The US team and Nick could and should be playing in that game, and I guarantee you it'll be a great one to watch. If you have some free time between 8:00am and 10:00am next Tuesday morning, tune into universalsports.com to check out the live webcast.

I met with Nick's dad, Gary, yesterday for lunch and he was able to get a ticket to the Saturday game against Japan for me. Unfortunately, I've been spending and still need to spend quite a bit of time prepping for the semester, so I won't be able to go to any other games this weekend, but I am going to try to get tickets to the finals, happening at 8:00pm Beijing time next Tuesday. The venue--the gymnasium at the Beijing Science and Technology University, is a ten-minute bike ride from the Tsinghua campus.

Again, if you have a chance next Tuesday morning, September 16th, at 8:00am, tune into the Paralympics section of UniversalSports.com to check out the gold medal game.
