There are 250 international media folk from 32 countries present in L.A. this weekend. Of the 55 international media outlets (TV and radio and Websites) here, 14 are doing live commentary onsite. That would include 32 Spanish media, 14 Polish media and 8 from Turkey. And good ol' Al Jazeera Sport is here beaming things to the Middle East.
