How to Follow the U.S. Sailing Team's Journey to the Olympics

Want to follow the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team’s journey to London, England, and the 2012 Olympic Sailing Regatta from July 29 to Aug. 11?

Here's how you can! 

Sixteen U.S. Olympic Sailing Team athletes will represent the United States across 10 Olympic events. As the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has designated these Games the “social Games,” U.S. Sailing is encouraging every American sailor to get behind the team and cheer them to victory whether on social media, directly by e-mail or simply by following along with their journey online. 

• The primary portal for all team activity and news is the Web site http://Olympics.USSailing.org where the day’s news and results will be posted following competition, along with a photo gallery, video and audio interviews and Team Leader Dean Brenner’s special behind-the-scenes “At the Helm” blog. Video interviews with the team will be posted to the Web site or subscribe to the Team’s YouTube channel http://www.YouTube.com/USSailingTeam.
