ESPN gets into Olympics act

After the hype and hoopla of IPL, it's now time for yet another sporting spectacle. With just 60 days to go for the Olympics, official broadcaster ESPN Star Sports is getting into the act. It will flag off its 660 hours of programming on the games with a sporting documentary called ‘Living the Dream'. The show, to beam on June 3, focuses on the best sporting talents from Asia and their Olympic aspirations. The documentary series will feature boxing star and Indian Olympic medal hope Mary Kom among others. Besides the live action from London, the broadcaster says its coverage will include historical archive footage of the last two decades. —
