If you are a cyclist or enthusiastic skier you are probably aware of Universal Sports which broadcasts sports outside of the usual sports fare. These sports include cycling, skiing, track and field, triathlons, ice skating, and even more. Obviously, being a cyclist and a skier I am frequently tuning into Universal Sports to watch the cycling and skiing.
