LuckySpikes, will there be any streaming links available for us, on Friday at Monaco, as Eurosport and BBC are no longer interested?
-

Yes, at the minimum I will provide links to SRF Zwei (Switzerland) and CT Sport (Czech Republic). Both are in beautiful HD but SRF Zwei needs you to use a VPN or the Hola extension for your browser, and CT Sport might do as well. In the States it's only on the Olympic Channel.
However, there has been what could be a positive development ... the Monaco organisers are working to try to provide Britain with live TV coverage of the meeting. If that isn't possible, we may get access to the previously geo-blocked world feed on YouTube.

I notice that Monaco DL has now popped up on the BBC Red Button at 19:00, so it will be recordable if you have all the gubbins. I’m sure it will also appear on IPlayer, but that usually takes an hour or two after transmission.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Friday 14th August to Monday 17th August:
It's a bumper weekend of action so I'm once again in the position of being able to reject some live streamed meetings on "quality-of-fields" grounds. Not making the cut this weekend are the Danish Championships, Norwegian U20 Championships and two meetings in Spain & Nijmegen.
Friday to Saturday- Baltic Team Championships aka President's Cup (Ogre, LAT) - LAT vs EST vs LTU; Usually an enjoyable little championships
- Swedish Championships (Uppsala, SWE) - Includes the return of Meraf Bahta, after her whereabouts ban, in the 5000 & 10,000 although the 10,000 isn't being broadcast. EDIT : The 10,000m races ARE now being live streamed (see separate entry created in the document)
- Finnish Championships (Turku, FIN) - This starts on Thursday but the first day isn't being broadcast
- Herculis - Monaco Diamond League - now live on the BBC Red Button!
- Jump'n'Run (Dortmund, GER) - Dortmund seems to specialise in these super-long outdoor meetings! There's some good distance races on the card, e.g., nice, very international (European) Men's 1500 & 5000 'A' races including a few Brits; A few Brits in other events too including Kristal Awuah (100) & Oliver Dustin (800)
- Meeting de la Tchaux (La Chaux-de-Fonds, SUI) - Not the usual Resisprint meeting which was cancelled for this year, but this meeting has a similar 'discipline-profile' with sprints & hurdles dominating the programme; Some decent fields for the track events and amongst those competing are Sprunger, Tortu, Jacobs, Zahi, Pinto & Lieke Klaver
- Music City Distance Carnival (Nashville, TN, USA) - On late for us but it's on YouTube so it's easy to watch later; Good fields assembled here; EDIT : Coverage was poor - see post below
- #TrueAthletes Classics (Leverkusen, GER) - Likely only 10-15 mins highlights of this but it is a small programme of events at this meeting
- Memoriał Wiesława Maniaka (Szczecin, POL) - After the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial left this intimate little stadium for that big, flash venue in Chorzów this meeting sprung up in its place; And what a super little meeting it was last year! Not as strong this year but still not bad; Some highlights - Jessie Knight & Lina Nielsen in the 400H vs Linkiewicz, in the W 800 Bell, Tracey, Cichocka, Sabat & Bello, in the M 1000 Dustin, Botterill, Rozmys & Sasinek
- Memoriał Władysława Komara & Tadeusza Ślusarskiego (Międzyzdroje, POL) - Men's Pole Vault meeting
- Meeting Internazionale Sport Solidarietà (Lignano Sabbiadoro, ITA) - Usually a good meeting; Again not as strong as usual years but still some decent international fields here. Ama Pipi in the 400 & Lucy-Jane Matthews in the 100H
1) there's large numbers of entries in all events and all the field events have qualification rounds
2) there's 10,000m races as well as race walks. The Women's 10,000 isn't the highest quality but Johanna Peiponen is a fun runner to watch - small but quite ungainly and gritty. Camilla Richardsson is also entered as is a very successful cross-country runner of the late 1990s, now aged 43 and with a new and unfamiliar surname.
As for the men's 10,000, given the woeful state of Finnish men's distance running compared to the past, Finnish fans might be quite relieved that it's on the first day (and so it's not being broadcast live)!
3) they also include the multi-events. In the heptathlon they have a couple of rising stars - Maria Huntington (British Dad!) & Miia Sillman - over 6300 & 6200 points respectively.
Anyway, all the links & details at https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdnlb49qy8...08-17.odt?dl=0
Next major post on Tuesday evening for 2 Wednesday meetings - the Gyulai István Memorial (WACT Gold) in Hungary and the meeting formerly known as the European Athletics Festival/Bydgoszcz Cup but now renamed the Irena Szewińska Memorial.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 16-08-20, 13:52.Comment

The 10,000s at the Swedish Championships are being live streamed after all (on a different platform). I've added them to the document above, creating a new entry for them below the entry for the Swedish Championships because that entry is already quite "busy".Comment

Startlists for today's meeting in Szczecin have been added to the latest document, as well as some detail regarding this meeting to the post above.
Also, entry lists for Monday's meeting in Lignano Sabbiadoro have been added to the document since I first posted it.
If you've yet to watch it, be advised that the coverage of the Music City Distance Carnival is pretty poor. In an effort to reduce staff for safety reasons they got their priorities wrong, employing an trackside interviewer but leaving the camerawork to unmanned cameras that used sensors.
My tolerance for less-than-optimal streams is pretty high but this was too much even for me so I'll just check the results later.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 16-08-20, 13:55.Comment

Live streaming for the Trofeo Diputación de Castellón - Memorial José Antonio Cansino in Spain is confirmed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuedJ1yJeIU, starting at 4pm today.
Looks like a decent meeting with a number of top Spaniards and also top junior Mariana Machado (POR) in the 1500.
I'll be posting links this evening for the 2 meetings tomorrow.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 24-08-20, 15:21.Comment

The Meeting Toni Bonet in Ibiza tomorrow (Saturday) is indeed being streamed so has been added to the latest document. A nice short meeting (1h 15m) but not short on quality.Comment

It seems that the middle section of today's Marseille meeting is being covered on a programme called L'Equipe d'Estelle. Therefore, it looks like the coverage will be more or less continuous from 3.45pm until 7.35pm and it shouldn't be necessary to switch streams at 5.05pm as I originally thought.Comment
