Es evidente que los horarios de los juegos que hoy se inauguran no nos benefician demasiado a los españoles, y aunque podremos ver parte de las pruebas que se disputen, habrá otras más difÃciles de poder disfrutar en directo. En Internet ya hay varios recursos para solucionarlo.
En Wired indican que el problema será mayor para los estadounidenses y en general para todos los que habitan las tres Américas (del norte, central y del sur), ya que la diferencia horaria con respecto a China es significativa.
Puede que en España el problema no sea tan grave, pero tanto para los que nos leen desde aquà como los que lo hacéis desde América Latina, ya hay algunos enlaces que os permiten acceder a las emisiones de estos juegos a través de Internet. Habrá que ver qué tal calidad dan, pero de momento es una alternativa interesante.
