Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 29th June to Wednesday 30th June:
Tuesday- Trofeo Diputacion de Castellón - Memorial José Antonio Cansino (Castellón, ESP) - Over the last couple of years this has become a good meeting; Among the stars competing are Echevarria, Genzebe Dibaba, Mekhissi Bennabad and Caballero & Perez in the Discus; Most of the events are solid and there's strong line-ups in the W 400, 800, 1500 & TJ and the M 400, 800 & 1500
- midsommar - Charlottenburger Mittsommernacht (Berlin-Charlottenburg, GER) - Not strong fields across the board but there are some big names chasing Olympic standards, e.g., Haase & Pinto in the 100 & 200 and Luckenkmeper in the 100; Also a decent W 400
- Spitzenleichtathletik (Luzern, SUI) - WA Continental Tour Silver meeting; No entry lists yet but van Niekerk, Schippers, Vetter, Rohler, Simbine, Hussong & Wanders have been announced; For those of you without Eurosport there is also an official live stream provided by Swiss Athletics (probably the TV broadcast with Swiss commentators)
- Memoriał Ireny Szewińskiej (Bydgoszcz, POL) - WA Continental Tour Gold meeting; No entry lists yet but as you'd expect some big names have been announced
- Meeting International de la Province de Liège (Liège, BEL) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; No entry lists yet but Semenya & Niyonsaba (both 5000) & Thiam (100H) have been announced; There'll be no on-demand viewing for this so you'd need to watch it live then watch the rest of Bydgoszcz later
Next major post on Wednesday evening for Thursday/Friday action including the Bislett Games, (hopefully) the Barcelona international meeting and the Brooks PR Invite in Seattle.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 28-06-21, 20:11.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Thursday 1st July to Friday 2nd July:
There's no sign yet of a live stream for Thursday's international meeting in Barcelona but to be honest the fields aren't as good this year (usually the mid-distance races are pretty loaded). However, if a stream does materialise I'll add the details. I think some of this week's meetings are suffering a bit from their proximity to national championships.
Regarding the Brooks PR Invite (Seattle) on Friday, there's now only 2 pro races (not the original 3), both 800m, at this mainly High School meeting and neither field is particularly good. So, I've decided not to include that stream.
Thursday- Bislett Games - Oslo Diamond League (Oslo, NOR)
- Täby International Pole Vault Gala (Täby, SWE) - A street event; Braz, Walsh, Obiena and Irwin headline the men's competition; In the women's Alysha Newman, Polina Knoroz (ANA) and Olivia Gruver lead the field; Mondo's little sister, Johanna Duplantis, is also competing! She's 18 or 19 with an indoor PB of 3.96 so maybe the family talent isn't shining through just yet?
Next major post on Friday evening for the weekend including the Mannheim Junior Gala, Round 1 of the Hokuren Distance Challenge in Japan, the Lignano Sabbiadoro meeting, maybe the KBC Nacht meeting in Heusden-Zolder, the Stockholm DL and perhaps the Peachtree 10km road race (incl US Championships).Last edited by LuckySpikes; 02-07-21, 12:53.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 3rd July to Sunday 4th July:
Saturday to Sunday- Spanish U20 Championships (Monzón, ESP) - There's a comprehensive Preview for this linked in the document
- Bauhaus Junior Gala (Mannheim, GER) - A reduced number of central European and Nordic nations are competing here this year
- Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 1 (Shibetsu, JPN) - M + W 1500, 3000 & 5000; I love this series of mid/long distance meetings, all held on the island of Hokkaido where it's cooler in the summer - there's 5 meetings in the next 14 days, covering a range of distances; Usually Round 1 is more low-key before many of the best athletes in Japan come out for the subsequent rounds; I haven't translated startlists for this round but I will endeavour to do so for subsequent rounds when there's some bigger name athletes competing
- Meeting Internazionale “Sport e Solidarietà” (Lignano Sabbiadoro, ITA) - European Area Permit Meeting; Some good events here - Elaine Thompson & Natasha Morrison in the 100, Broadbell, Eaton & Alkana in the 110H and a good M 800; Mitchell-Blake is in the 100 and Ogbeta in a good TJ
- Czech Super League Round 1 (Brno, CZE) - These are pretty good meetings with many of the best Czech-based athletes competing; The Czech Federation's live streams are excellent too
- Peachtree Road Race incl USA 10km Road Championships (Atlanta, GA, USA) - Elite 10km road races; Decent fields headlined by Rupp, Chelanga, Abdirahman, Riley & Young in the men's and Sarah Hall, Tuliamuk, Bruce, Durgin & Nukuri in the women's
- Bauhaus-Galan - Stockholm Diamond League (Stockholm, SWE)
- KBC Nacht van de Atletiek (Heusden-Zolder, BEL) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; This stream is just 15 minutes of highlights - the meeting actually takes place on Saturday; Some pretty good fields here
Next major post on Monday evening for Tuesday's Gyulai István Memorial WACT Gold meeting and for Wednesday's Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 2 and Trieste international meeting. Unfortunately Monday's WACT Bronze meeting in Nancy will be behind a paywall and Tuesday's Cork City Games has been cancelled for this year (as has Friday's Morton Games.)Last edited by LuckySpikes; 04-07-21, 22:09.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 6th July to Thursday 8th July:
Tuesday- Gyulai István Memorial - Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix (Székesfehérvár, HUN) - WA Continental Tour Gold meeting; Most of the fields here are absolutely loaded!
- Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 2 (Fukugawa, JPN) - W 3000 and M + W 5000 & 10,000; The big guns aren't out yet for this series but the quality of fields is a bit of a step up from Round 1 last Saturday; I have translated the startlists into English
- Triveneto Meeting Internazionale (Trieste, ITA) - European Area Permit Meeting; The fields are OK; Athletes from 30 countries arecompeting
- European U23 Championships (Tallinn, EST)
Next major post on Thursday evening for Friday to Sunday action.Comment

Friday to Sunday- Ongoing European U23 Championships (Tallinn, EST) - links in latest document below
- South American U20 Championships (Lima, PER) - Some decent fields here
- FASTFriday incl England Athletics 10,000m Championships (Walthamstow, GBR) - No idea of who's competing yet!
- Herculis Meeting - Monaco Diamond League (Monaco, MON)
- Stars and Stripes Classic (Marietta, GA, USA) - American Track League; Again, no idea of who's competing yet; I presume the fields will be good
- Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 3 (Abashiri, JPN) - M + W 5000, 10,000 & 3000SC and W 800 & 3000 and M 1500; This terrific series continues; I've translated the startlists to English; Some good fields here, notably the W 3000 with Nozomi Tanaka, Ririka Hironaka, some good Kenyans and, returning from injury, Sayaka Sato (10,000/Marathon specialist); Also, both the 10,000m 'A' races are pretty strong and look competitive
- "Fast Arms, Fast Legs" (Wetzlar, GER) - Sprints, hurdles & javelin meeting; The women's flat sprints are stacked from a domestic point of view
- Spanish Championships of Autonomous Federations (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, ESP) - This is kind of like Spain's Inter-Counties, with one big difference ... Many of Spain's top athletes compete in this competition! Spain is made up of 17 autonomous regions and 16 of them are competing - only Cantabria is missing
- Bottnarydskastet - Viking Throwing Tour #3 (Bottnaryd, SWE) - European Area Permit Meeting; All Sweden's best throwers are entered along with Germany's David Wrobel & Alina Kenzel
- Kamila Skolimowska Throwing Festival (Cetniewo/Władysławowo, POL) - European Area Permit Meeting; No startlists yet but it looks like all Poland's best throwers will be competing
Next major post on Monday evening for Tuesday's Gateshead DL, the Swedish 10km Road Championships and Wednesday's Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 4 and Joensuu Games in Finland.Comment

Yeah,I have noticed this is one of the reasons Spain hoovers up so many miscellaneous Cubans, Moroccans etc. Their club & regional teams are so much stronger than ours. It is like professionals playing in county league cricket.Originally posted by LuckySpikes View PostComment

Yes, I think the good all-year-round weather helps as well for those without Spanish citizenship aspirations. There's a number of athletes from other nations who just choose to live and train there, e.g., Portuguese, some Bulgarians at the Playas de Castellon club (Eftimova & Mitkova), the Fotopoulou twins from Cyprus at one of the big clubs in Valencia etc.

Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 13th July to Thursday 15th July:
Tuesday- British Grand Prix - Gateshead Diamond League 2 (Gateshead, GBR)
- Anderstorp Running Grand Prix incl Swedish 10km Championships (Anderstorp Racetrack, SWE) - In the Men's race, last year's 1-2-3 return - Tsegay, Russom & David Nilsson; The women's field is headed by Hannah Lindholm, Samrawit Mengsteab, Linn Nilsson & Sara Christiansson
- Hokuren Distance Challenge Round 4 (Kitami, JPN) - M 800, 5000 & 10,000 + W 1500, 3000 & 5000; The Women's 5000 'A' race is perhaps the standout field with Nozomi Tanaka and a few good Kenyans heading it
- Joensuu Games (Joensuu, FIN) - European Area Permit Meeting; Not great fields but there's star power with Lasitskene in the HJ and a decent W TJ with Minenko, Salminen & Ogbeta; Finnish TV's coverage of the field events is always very good (not just the javelin!)
- European U20 Championships (Tallinn, EST)
Next major post on Friday 16th.Comment

I wished the Gateshead Diamond League, part Deux, was happening on Thurdsay or Friday.... Weather would be great for that part of the world at this time of year. 22 - 23 Celsius. Tomorrow is not going to be nearly as bad as it was on that dreadfully wet, windy and cold day in May, but 17 - 18 Celsius, with a likely headwind on the home straight, isn't too great either. Eh, maybe I'm over-thinking things and it will be a great meet regardless.Originally posted by LuckySpikes View PostComment

Hi Lucky, do you know if there'll be any full streams for Gateshead? There's some good national races like a round of the men's 100 earlier on than the BBC coverage. Cheers!Comment

No, I've looked at some other countries broadcasts and they're all starting at 7pm. The DL's YouTube stream also starts at 7pm.Originally posted by JamieSLA View Post
Maybe they'll show those races on the BBC before the Emsley Carr Mile at 6.41pm or before the world feed at 7? However, that it's starting at 6.30 makes me think it might be a Gab-fest for most of the first half hour.
