The Cube

Hey folks!

This time, I'll only drop you a quick note, because in 20 minutes I am off to give a handball practice at a local elementary school. For all of you out there: There is nothing more satisfying than being a coach of the sport you love. It's probably the most rewarding experience out there!

What I wanted to share with you is that having started yesterday, you can actually see who is participating at the Youth Olympic Games in August! The profiles of the 30 Young Ambassadors as well as those of the Young Reporters and of course the athletes will be up on the Cube, which is the virtual YOG platform on the Olympic homepage. So starting now, you can look up all the people that are contributing to the YOG 2010: The Young Ambassadors promoting them, the Young Reporters spreading out the latest news from Singapour and most importantly, the athletes!

Apart from just browsing through the guys and learning more about their unique backgrounds, you can also filter them. For example, if you are a swimmer and you want to get in touch with other swimmers from around the world, you just filter out all the swimming athletes and there you go. On their profiles, you will also find links to the most popular social media sites, so you can stay in touch via Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and the like.
You can also select people by country. So if you are from the United States and you always wanted to know how people in Austria are doing, just see who from Austria is going to be there in Singapore and get in touch with them.

I think the Cube is a very funny and also informative tool. When I was told that it had gone online, I looked up my fellow ambassadors and learned new things about them. So, go to the Olympic website and check out the Cube - there are from now on plenty of amazing people on it!
