The Olympic Channel debuted a new show that follows select sliding athletes at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. I’m thinking this is one of a couple reasons why they didn’t choose to the live stream the sliding events. Anyway, the first episode was uploaded to YouTube, and I thought it was a good watch.
