How to Watch the 2016 Pan American Championships (Live!)

The Pan American Championships are hugely important for a number of countries as far as securing Olympic spots. (You can read what that means for the U.S. Men here, including what they need to do to secure an Olympic spot.) But after several venue and city changes (the event is being held in Cartagena, Colombia), and connectivity issues, it’s been tough for American and/or English language outlets to get a consistent, high-quality live stream ready for the event. Fortunately, we now have a high-quality Spanish language option that (so far) includes crystal-clear video:

Editor’s Note: Kudos to the media outlets — American or not — in Colombia working hard to provide coverage and streams of the event. Venue changes are tough on every front, and sometimes, circumstances that inhibit live streams can be out of their control.
