  NewTek TriCaster brings Wrestling Trials Home
 
  NewTek, Inc. announced today that its TriCaster™ portable production studio will be used to stream the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Wrestling live from the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas June 13th through 15th.

Coverage of this event will feature competitions in 18 separate Olympic wrestling weight classes in three distinct Olympic styles (men’s freestyle, men’s Greco-Roman, and women’s freestyle) on the program for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The live web cast, hosted by veteran wrestling announcers Van Stokes and Scott Casber, will be seen on NBCOlympics.com at 5:00 pm PST each day.

"USA Wrestling is excited that we will partner with NBCOlympics.com to provide a free, live web cast of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials finals for wrestling and sports fans around the world. This would not be possible without access to the TriCaster portable production studio, which provides the technology to allow this opportunity. The wrestling community is very excited about this," said Rich Bender, USA Wrestling Executive Director.

“While the finals of this event are being taped and broadcast on June 22nd on MSNBC, the most enthusiastic wrestling fans will be able to see all the qualifying action live this weekend” said Philip Nelson, SVP Strategic Development, NewTek. “TriCaster’s portability and ease of use is giving USA Wrestling the chance to deliver this live, extended coverage of the United States Olympic Team Trials to a worldwide audience.”

Each day, six best-of-three Championships Series will be held. The weight classes contested each day will be:

* Friday, June 13 – 48 kg women’s freestyle, 55 kg women’s freestyle, 63 kg women’s freestyle, 72 kg women’s freestyle, 55 kg Greco-Roman, 60 kg Greco-Roman
