Piedmonters at the Olympics: Rowing Schedule

When the 2012 Olympic Games kick off Friday, Piedmont will have its own home town competitors to cheer for. Two Piedmonters will be competing in London, both in rowing.

Scott Gault is a member of the men's four team, competing in his second Olympics. Read more about him in this Piedmont Patch article.

Zach Vlahos is the coxswain for the men's eight. Read more about him, and his training for the Olympics, in this San Francisco Chronicle article.

NBC is offering live streaming video of rowing events, including heats, repechage, semi-finals and finals. You may see the rowing schedule and watch live streaming here. (You'll need your log-in/user name and password to sign in for live streaming. For Comcast, at least, the log-in shows automatically. Allow extra time if you need to find or reset your password.)

TV coverage of rowing will emphasize the highlights, but won't offer complete coverage of races. You can see NBC's broadcast schedule (via Comcast, PDT) for rowing here.
