For you, English-speakers, watch Eurosport.
But there's really nothing to watch for US viewers as the perfomance is poor. Shame that US team is badly presented on the event in terms 'quality' (quantity is here). More victories > more interest > more companies would buy broadcasting rights from FISU. Somewhere in early 2000s US team fell from charts completely so it was all about China vs. Russia competition. Not sure what has happened and why bother with accreditaion of 400+ team if they aren't going to win.
It's nice event that worth promotion, timed in gaps between Olympics, so no direct competition, with more emphasis on younger athletes (though Olympics champions are common here).
