Remember all those gymnastics competitions you wanted to see live, but could never find online - and had to rely on friends to provide video coverage of select routines? Well that time is all but over, folks - the world of I-G TV has been launched today under the patronage of the Russian Federation Sports Ministry. The first events to receive coverage will be the gymnastics and diving competitions at the Russia-China Games, taking place over the next few days - so worth visiting this brand new project!
This is what I-G TV has to say :
"The whole range of opportunities offered by the world of gymnastics and diving presented on the I-G.TV portal will be useful both for beginners and professionals. The web-cameras installed in gyms and swimming pools will enable I-G.TV visitors to watch on-line competitions in different parts of the world. Parents will see their children in the process of training. Russian gymnastic and diving stars will share their valuable experience and give advice. The best coaches will offer their master-classes and video trainings, and Olympic champions will give their recommendations on performance of any elements of interest to you. On-line consultations of leading sports doctors and psychologists will be also organized on the portal.
Apart from that, the portal is of unique nature because it grants to athletes an opportunity to share their skills and new achievements. To this end, it's enough to download your video on the I-G.TV portal, so that visitors could vote. Top athletes chosen by the audience and the sports stars will be awarded a prize established by I-G.TV."
In addition, you will find at http://www.i-g.tv/ interviews with leading coaches and gymnasts such as Leonid Arkaev and Alexei Nemov.
It's great to see such an innovative use of technology put together in a fun and educational way for both competitors and fans. Speaking as a fan and blogger, I'm fascinated by this promising project. There is the prospect of interactive international competitions, and I wonder if there will be ringside coverage of training at Lake Krugloye? I've registered already and recommend you to do the same! There are fairly good quality translations available (English, German, French and Spanish) on the page. I am looking forward to using this site extensively over the coming months as we move towards the London Olympics.
The project is supported by Olympic Champions Valeri Liukin, Igor Korobchinski, Alexei Nemov, Alexander Karelin, Dimitri Sautin and Evgenyi Podgornyi with British coach Keith Richardson.
With thanks to Vladimir Zaglada who has brought this fantastic website to our attention!
