AT&T and USA Diving announce that the 2008 AT&T USA Diving Grand Prix will air on a tape delay on the
AT&T blue room beginning in mid-May. Footage from the four-day event, which kicks off in Fort Lauderdale on May 8, will also be available at no extra charge to AT&T U-verse IPTV customers via AT&T Team USA On Demand in late May.
The AT&T blue room and AT&T Team USA On Demand keep fans connected to Team USA with webcasts and footage of events, plus exclusive interviews with U.S. Olympic Team hopefuls. The blue room and AT&T Team USA On Demand currently feature U.S. Olympic hopeful diver Troy Dumais in the latest AT&T Tips and Training program episode — an original production that provides fans access to sport-specific training tips from several elite U.S. Olympic Team hopefuls. Showcasing U.S. Olympic hopefuls is part of AT&T's role as an official sponsor for USA Diving to provide financial support, products and services to aid in the training of America's divers.
As part of AT&T's sponsorship of USA Diving, AT&T will host the AT&T H2O Zone at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Diving in July, giving fans the opportunity to interact with USA Diving sponsors and AT&T products and services.
The announcement is the latest move by AT&T to help U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes train and compete for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. AT&T is an official sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Team and provides significant financial support, products and services to the U.S. Olympic Committee.
