It turns out that the Hyogo Relay Carnival (Kobe, JPN) - not just relays - is being live streamed on YouTube. So, I've added all the stream links for this 2 day meeting to the document and moved the listing to the top of the document so that everything is in time order.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Wednesday 27th April:

Wednesday

• USATF 1 Mile Road Championships (Des Moines, IA, USA) - Decent fields here including Murphy, Blankenship & Hillary Bor in the Men's race whilst Abbey Cooper (nee D'Agostino) & Emily Lipari are the headliners in the Women's
• Torneio Internacional São Paulo (São Paulo, BRA) - Not a huge amount of detail about entrants yet but there are athletes from 19 countries competing, including USA, Jamaica & South Africa. Darlan Romani will be amongst the starters

Next major post on Thursday evening for Friday events including the Drake Relays & the Mikio Oda Memorial in Hiroshima.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Friday 29th April:

Friday to Sunday

• Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Championships (Pueblo, CO, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; One of the strongest of the D2 conferences, with 4 of the Men's teams nationally ranked Top 10 (headed by Adams State, no.5) and 4 of the Women's teams ranked Top 25, led by Adams State, no.6

Friday

• Mikio Oda Memorial International Meet (Hiroshima, JPN) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Good fields in many of the events here; E.g., in the W 5000 Nozomi Tanaka & Kaede Hagitani (both sub-15) go up against 3 good Kenyans, led by Naomi Muthoni Kariuki (14:49.9 PB). Ryuji Miura (20yo 8:09 steepler) runs the M 5000 that also includes some good Kenyans
• Drake Relays (Des Moines, IA, USA) - Before the televised "pro" races on Saturday there's a lot of good collegiate races happening on Thursday & Friday, including Randolph Ross in the 200

Videos of the first of the races from Drake are now linked in the latest document above - last night's 3000SC, 5000 & 10,000. More vids from the shorter collegiate events to uploaded tomorrow, as well as there being a live broadcast of the pro events from 7pm.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 30th April to Monday 2nd May:

Unfortunately, there's no live streams this year for the Multistars Combined Events Gold meeting.

In a masterstroke of planning the TV broadcasts of the Drake Relays and Penn Relays are on at the exactly the same time.

I'm hopeful of being able to add 1 or 2 more events including Sunday's Giulietta & Romeo Half Marathon in Verona.

Saturday to Sunday

• Kinami Michitaka Memorial Meet (Osaka, JPN) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting AND WA Combined Events Tour Bronze meeting; Good fields here and there's athletes from a few other nations competing as well, including Jessica Thornton, Kayla Barber, Nick Hough & Celeste Mucci

Saturday to Monday

• BUCS Championships (Bedford, GBR) - Sorry, I haven't got the energy left to peruse the rather reader-unfriendly entry lists (in a spreadsheet! Hey BUCS, it's the 21st Century you know!) Anyway, you kind of know what you're getting with the BUCS Champs

Saturday

• Ongoing Collegiate races at Drake Relays (Des Moines, IA, USA) - See 2 posts above
• adizero Road to Records (Herzogenaurach, GER) - International 5km, 10km & Half Marathon; These fields are loaded! Just some of the names racing - Kejelcha, Rhonex Kipruto, Senbere Teferi, Seyaum, Edris, Telahun Bekele, Sheila Chepkirui, Jacob Krop, Kibiwott Kandie, Tadese Worku, Tamirat Tola, Gloria Kite, Battocletti & Emile Cairess as well as few youngsters who impressed on the World XC Tour this winter like Rodrigue Kwizera, Levy Kibet, Addisu Yihune & Dolshi Tesfu; I like that they have separate male & female races and the live stream was really good last year
• Drake Relays (Des Moines, IA, USA) - WA Continental Tour Silver meeting; Some very good fields and some big names competing here such as Camacho-Quinn, Crouser & Dalilah Muhammad
• Penn Relays (Philadelphia, PA, USA) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; I prefer the look of the Drake Relays fields (since these 2 streams clash directly!) but S McLaughlin (100H), Omar McLeod & Nicole Yeargin (300m) are amongst those racing here; To be fair, the Women's 600 is very good with Mu, Goule & Wilson

Sunday

• Broad Street Run (Philadelphia, PA, USA) - International 10 Miles road race; No idea yet who's competing here but the fields are usually pretty good
• Les 15km Internationaux de Puy-en-Velay (Puy-en-Velay, FRA) - A first time live-streaming this race I believe; 2017 World XC champ Irine Cheptai is the favourite in the Women's race, attacking the 47:47 course record, though she may have good competition from Nelly Jepchumba (67:46 Half PB); The Men's race is fairly good too, including Wisley Kibichii (59:57 Half PB) and Charles Lokir (27:30 at 10km)
• Lilac Bloomsday Run (Spokane, WA, USA) - International 12km road race; Solid fields here with a number of good Kenyans as well as a few good Americans such as Reid Buchanan & Makena Morley
• Grand Prix International Brasil (São Paulo, BRA) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Not yet having the proper startlists, it seems like the fields will be similar to Wednesday's meeting at the same venue, with many of Brazil's best and a sprinkling of foreign athletes (from 20 countries) such as Thea Lafond

Monday

• London 10,000 incl British 10km Championships (London, GBR) - 10km road race; Good domestic fields including Farah, Butchart, Goolab, McColgan, Piasecki, Samantha Harrison & Twell (though Steph hasn't been in good form lately)

Next major post on Monday for midweek T&F meetings in Japan & Spain.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 3rd May to Thursday 5th May:

Tuesday

• Shizuoka International Athletics Meet (Shizuoka, JPN) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Pretty good fields here with many of Japan's best competing; Again there's a few Aussies there, including Brandon Starc against Naoto Tobe in the HJ; The longest event is 800m

Wednesday

• Golden Games in Nobeoka (Nobeoka, JPN) - 5000s (plus shorter distances for kids); The Men's 'B' race (with a ton of sub-13:20 athletes) is actually much stronger than the 'A' race; The Women's 'A' race features a load of good young Kenyans (and a couple of Ethiopians) as well as the likes of Mikuni Yada (15:19 PB)
• Meeting Desafío Nerja (Nerja, ESP) - This meeting has been a good addition to the calendar in recent years; Really nice fields for the Men's 1500 and both Men's & Women's 5000s (the 800s aren't bad too) - e.g., the Men's 5000 includes Ouassim Oumaiz, Rodrigue Kwizera (BDI; ready to smash his PBs this summer - 26:56 for 10km last Saturday), 'Chiki' Perez and a number of other good Spaniards. In the Women's 5000 there's 2 European Champions - Sara Moreira and 18yo Carla Dominguez (15:47 on the roads 10 days ago) - as well as Joselyn Brea (VEN; 15:21 PB) and a host of top domestic athletes including Sanchez-Escribano, Robles, Marta Garcia & national 5000m champ, Beatriz Alvarez (32:25 debut at 10,000 a few weeks ago); Aimee Pratt is entered in the 1500 but so far there's only 2 other entrants! UPDATE : Live streaming now confirmed (YouTube)

Thursday

• Mito Invitational Meet (Mito, JPN) - By overall depth, the weakest of the 3 Japanese GP meetings listed here. But, it's still not bad

Thursday to Sunday

• South American Youth Games (Rosario, ARG) - No idea who's competing here yet but judging by the stream of today's Judo the coverage should be very good

All the links & details at https://www.dropbox.com/s/43m8v44z2l...05-05.odt?dl=0

Next major post possibly/probably on Wednesday evening for some NCAA Conference Championships starting on Thursday.

[LuckySpikes]

Final startlists for the Meeting Desafío Nerja are now linked in the document. Some of the events have filled out a bit and there's a few changes, e.g., Aimee Pratt is now entered in the 800 & 5000 not the 1500 (pacemaking the 5000 I'd guess). Three good women are out of the 5000 but in come Solange Pereira and good Portuguese youngster, Lia Lemos.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for events starting on Thursday 5th May & Friday 6th May:

Streaming of the championships for three good NCAA D2 conferences, especially the Lone Star Conference which on both the Men's & Women's sides has 3 of the Top 12 nationally ranked teams. Benjamin Azamati competes in that conference.

Thursday to Friday

• Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Championships (Owensboro, KY, USA) - NCAA D2 conference

Thursday to Saturday

• Lone Star Conference Championships (Kingsville, TX, USA) - NCAA D2 conference

Friday to Saturday

• Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Championships (Bolivar, MO, USA) - NCAA D2 conference

All the links & details at https://www.dropbox.com/s/4swnbkddz8...05-06.odt?dl=0

Next major post on Friday evening for a weekend of several big events.

[LuckySpikes]

The Lone Star Conference Championships have been removed from the document - it turns out that the streams cost $5 a day.

[treadwater1]

LS, have you conjured up a way to watch the US multi-events championship this weekend? I see USATF require you to have a runner space subscription, which looks complicated at they are US based. I checked Vinco’s website to see if they were offering coverage under their arrangement with runner space, but no joy

No, sorry. If it's any consolation, the Ratingen Combined Events Gold meeting is being live streamed this weekend (VPN possibly needed).

It's dead easy signing up for Runnerspace Plus though and it works fine in the UK with no geo-blocking. Use the discount code athleticdotnetsitesupporter to get 10% off the 12.99USD for a month. You don't get asked to verify that. It's also easy to cancel your subscription - it's the usual cancel at any time and you still get the full month.

Yeah, Runnerspace take all Vinco's streams but it doesn't work the other way around.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 7th May to Sunday 8th May:

Lots of Gold meetings and Elite Label road races this weekend.
Apologies though, I don't have the energy left for any teaser notes this evening!

Saturday

• Ongoing Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Championships (Bolivar, MO, USA) - See 3 posts above
• Track Meet (San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; As you know this thread concerns itself with streams that are free to watch. However, this is a really good mid/long-distance meeting that someone might want to shell out the $5.99 for, especially if you're a fan of US distance running (though there's a few Brits and some good foreigners like Jakob Ingebrigtsen competing too)
• Kip Keino Classic (Nairobi, KEN) - WA Continental Tour Gold meeting
• Meeting Ibiza de Atletismo Toni Bonet (Ibiza, ESP)
• 5km - part of the 20km de Lausanne weekend (Lausanne, SUI) - International 5km road race

[LuckySpikes]

Live stream/broadcast for Tuesday 10th May:

Tuesday

• Limassol International Athletics Meeting (Limassol, CYP) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; For the first edition of this meeting the organisers have done a pretty good job, attracting some decent fields, athletes from 23 countries and some good names, such as Orlando Ortega, Tentoglou & Reece Prescod. There's a few other Brits competing in the M 100 & 200 and also Nick Percy & Kirsty Law

Streaming of French meetings this Summer

You may recall that most of the bigger French meetings are now on a subscription service that costs 4.99 Euros a month - if you want more details, refer to my post at https://forum.athleticsweekly.com/fo...9547#post39547

The meetings they will be streaming exclusively this summer are:

15 May - Meeting International Montgeron-Essonne - WA Continental Tour Challenger series
29 May - Meeting International de Forbach - WA Continental Tour Challenger series
4 - 5 Jun - Défi’Athlon (Montpellier) - World Combined Events Tour Bronze meeting
8 Jun - Meeting Elite de Cergy-Pontoise
15 Jun - Meeting de Marseille - WA Continental Tour Challenger series
25 - 27 Jun - French Championships
2 Jul - Meeting Stanislas Nancy - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting
4 Jul - Meeting International de Sotteville - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting

So, if you signed up on 16th May for one month you could watch Montgeron on-demand and the next 4 meetings live. Or, signing up on 5th June for one month would get you the Défi’Athlon meeting (part live, part on-demand) and the remaining 5 meetings live.

I am going to list these meetings in this thread, even though they're not free to watch. I'm sure some people still like to see the startlists even if they're not watching the meeting.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Wednesday 11th May to Friday 13th May:

Many of the NCAA D1 conference championships are shown on ESPN Plus and other affiliated channels that aren't available to watch for free on the internet. However, in the next few days we've still got a few pretty good ones on the free live streams, including one of the top five or six D2 conferences. There's also one of the "Power Five" D1 conferences, the PAC-12, live streaming from early hours Saturday onwards - details for that in the upcoming Friday evening post.

Hopefully, in 2 weeks' time a kindly soul will stream the NCAA Regionals on YouTube like they did last year.

Wednesday

• University of Birmingham Track & Field Series - Meet 1 (Birmingham, GBR) - Not a stellar meeting but it includes some BMC Gold Standard 800s & 3000s, Aimee Pratt going in the latter

Late Wednesday to early hours on Sunday

• Mountain West Conference Championships (Fresno, CA, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; A pretty good conference that includes Unis such as New Mexico, Boise State, Air Force & Colorado State

Thursday

• Roma Sprint Festival (Rome, ITA) - Entrants include Darryl Neita, Ama Pipi, Jamal Rhoden-Stevens (the latter 2 doubling up), Zaynab Dosso, Gloria Hooper, Maya Bruney & Travis Collins (GUY)
• Puerto Rico International Athletics Classic (Ponce, PUR) - WA Continental Tour Silver meeting; This meeting is really loaded and would put a few of the Gold meetings to shame! Just some of the big names entered are Thompson-Herah, Athing Mu, Camacho-Quinn, Morris, Bromell, Gardiner, Kirani James, Emmanuel Korir & Crouser and there's several Brits competing too - Gemili, Z Hughes, Hudson-Smith, Tracey, Ugen & Lina Nielsen

Thursday to Saturday

• Summit League Conference Championships (Tulsa, OK, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; A small but decent conference
• ? Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championships (Norfolk, VA, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; This is a pretty good conference for the sprints but not so good on the distance side
• Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Championships (Aberdeen, SD, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; A strong conference with 2 of the Top 15 nationally-ranked Women's teams headed by Minnesota State (no.4) and 2 of the Top 25 Men's teams led by Augustana (SD) at no.19
• Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships (Millersville, PA, USA) - NCAA D2 conference; No nationally ranked Top 25 teams but as you'll see from the season's toplists it's not a bad D2 conference at all (probably mid-ranking amongst all of D2) and it's very competitive with 15 Unis including Shippensburg & Edinboro; The live stream is usually pretty good

Thursday to Sunday

• Conference USA (C-USA) Championships (San Antonio, TX, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; Although there's no nationally-ranked Top 25 teams in this conference it is a good conference, pretty much across the board. It includes well-known Unis such as Middle Tennessee, Rice & UTEP

Friday to Sunday

• ? Kansai Region Corporate Championships (Naruto, JPN) - This is always quite a strong meeting. A lot of good names are entered including Yuka Ando in the W 5000 & 10,000, Asuka Terada (12.87 100H) and Hyuga Endo (recently went no.2 Japanese all-time with 13:10.x in the 5000)

Friday

• Doha Diamond League (Doha, QAT) - Welcome back! And boy, is it loaded!

All the links & details at https://www.dropbox.com/s/om12dlfl7q...05-13.odt?dl=0

Next major post on Friday evening for a very busy weekend including, domestically, the Night of the 10,000m PBs (incl British Champs & Trials) and the first BMC Grand Prix of the season.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streaming of the Kansai Corporate Championships is confirmed. But, the MEAC Championships are not being live streamed and so have been removed from the document.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 14th May to Monday 16th May:

Wow, busy! Really busy!

I'm also hoping for a stream for Sunday's World 10k Bengaluru.

Saturday to Thursday 19th

• South East Asian Games AKA SEA Games (Hanoi, VIE) - The fields won't be stellar but this is a huge event for countries in that region and, having watched some of it before, it's quite entertaining

Saturday to Sunday

• PAC-12 Conference Championships (Eugene, OR, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; No need to big-up this conference. It's one of the best ones
• East Japan Corporate Championships (Tendo, JPN) - These championships are always pretty stacked from a domestic point of view. For example, in the Men's 10,000 there's 10 sub-28 men. Some big Japanese names are set to compete including Ririka Hironaka in the W 5000 up against 3 other sub-15 women (all Kenyan) and Mao Ichiyama in the W 10,000
• Chubu Region Corporate Championships (Tajimi, JPN) - Not as strong or as busy as the East Japan event above, but not without its merits. For example, Nozomi Tanaka is entered in the 1500 & 3000 and matches up again versus Helen Ekarare Lobun (KEN) who beat Tanaka in the 1500 at the WACT Gold meeting in Tokyo last Sunday
• Wiesław Czapiewski Memorial (Bydgoszcz, POL) - World Combined Events Tour Gold meeting; Not stellar fields but the Hep includes Adrianna Sulek & Mia Sillman (FIN; 6209 PB); Day 1 is mixed in with a "regular" T&F meeting that's just domestic and doesn't look particularly strong
• Ongoing Kansai Region Corporate Championships (Naruto, JPN) - See the post above
• Ongoing Conference USA (C-USA) Championships (San Antonio, TX, USA) - NCAA D1 conference; See the post above

Saturday

• Polish Open 35km Race Walking Championships (Opole, POL) - World Race Walking Tour Bronze meeting; As you'd expect there's strong domestic fields, including Olympic 50km champ Dawid Tomala; No idea about who's competing from other countries
• ? Belfast Irish Milers Meet (Belfast, GBR) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; As well as mid-distances this meeting includes some sprints; Some decent races here with Archie Davis & John Fitzsimmons in the 800, a good Irish/British Women's 800 that also includes Marissa Damink (NED; 2:02.9 PB), in the W 1500 there's Alex Bell, Erin Wallace & Jenny Selman and Tom Mortimer in the 5000
• Mid Summer Track Night (Vienna, AUT) - Not a great meeting but there's a few big-ish names competing like Neziri, V Hudson, Shukh (both Javelin), Gajanova & Hinriksdottir (the latter two both 800). Jamal Rhoden-Stevens, Rebekah Walton & Ben Greenwood (1500) are also competing
• Night Of The 10,000m PBs incl British 10,000m Championships & Trials and Emsley Carr Mile & Millicent Fawcett Mile (Highgate, GBR) - Pretty stacked domestic fields for the 10,000s and happily it's retained some of the international feel even though the European 10,000m Cup is being held in France now. In the Women's 10,000 McColgan, Judd & Markovc will be targeting the win/podium and the Eugene standard (31:25), whilst behind them there's a large group including Arter, Ockenden, Inglis & Harrison who are likely taking aim at European & Comm Games standards (32-low to 32-mid - all detailed in the linked Preview article). Internationally there's Sarah Lahti (SWE; 31:11 PB), Izzi Batt-Doyle (AUS; 31:43 PB), Camilla Richardsson (FIN) & Carla Salome Rocha (POR); In the Men's race Yeman Crippa, Mohamed Mohumed (GER; fresh off a 13:03 PB) and the 2 Ugandans are the likely favourites with Atkin, Cairess, Connor, Jake Smith & Jack Rowe amongst the Brits battling for British podium places and/or various standards; In the Millicent Fawcett Mile there's a solid international field that includes the returning Melissa Courtney-Bryant
• Vergotia 22 (Kefalonia, GRE) - International sprints & field meeting; Looks like a decent meeting with Tentoglou the big headliner. Others competing include Florentina Iusco, T Franklin, Spyridoula Karydi (all LJ), Mariya Vukovic, Tihomir Ivanov & Andrei Toader
• Birmingham Uni BMC Grand Prix Round 1 (Uni of Birmingham, GBR) - The highlights here ... Dustin & Pattison in the 800 and Izzy Boffey in the Women's. Aime Pratt is attacking Lizzie Bird's 6:11.79 NR in the 2000SC and in the 3000SC Seddon & Norman face U20 Euro XC champion Axel Vang Christensen (DEN)
• Meeting du RAN (Le Lorrain, Martinique, FRA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; No idea who specifically is competing here, but it looks likely to involve a lot of Carribean athletes
• River Bank Run incl USA 25km Championships (Grand Rapids, MI, USA) - Whilst last week's Women's race at the Half Marathon Championships was quite poor (with the exception of Sisson), this week the Women's field is much stronger than the Men's. D'Amato and Tuliamuk are hogging the pre-race headlines but it also includes Thweatt, Paquette, Pagano, Lindsay Flanagan & Dakotah Lindwurm; Zeinasellassie, Simbassa & Stinson look like the strength of the Men's field
• See the post above for ongoing NCAA Conference Championships finishing on Saturday

Sunday

• Pacific Distance Carnival & Canadian 10,000m Championships (Burnaby, BC, CAN) - The feature 10,000m races aren't super deep but on both sides there's 3 athletes who look like the contenders - Bruchet, Philibert-Thiboutot & Linkletter in the Men's and Sexton (32:04 road PB), Gollish & Coates in the Women's; I imagine that if conditions are right these athletes will be going for times good enough to get to the Comm Games (Canada has a more complicated "standards" system so I can't tell you what they actually need!)
• Genève Marathon & Half Marathon (Geneva, SUI) - Marathon is a WA Label race; Solid fields for each of the 4 races without them being particularly deep
• Copenhagen Marathon (Copenhagen, DEN) - WA Label race; Not the stellar affair that this city's half marathon is (course records are 2:09 & 2:29). The men's race features a number of 2:08-2:11 men as well as Daniel Kipchumba (59:06 Half) making his marathon debut; The star name in the Women's field is Helah Kiprop though given she's 37 and probably past her 2015-16 best she'll probably be challenged by the rest of the slim field that starts with PBs in the 2:24-2:30 range
• Czech Super League Round 1 (Ostrava, CZE) - As always the fields for this League are domestically quite strong; The Czech Federation's streams of meetings are usually very good too
• URSAPHARM Speerwurfmeeting (Offenburg, GER) - International Javelin meeting; A fair number of very good athletes competing here, headed by Vetter & Hoffman on the Men's side and Hussong & Ogrodnikova on the Women's. Serbian sensation Adriana Vilagos is also in the senior Women's comp. In the Men's is also Britain's Joe Harris
• Stramilano Half Marathon (Milan, ITA) - Small elite fields for this famous old race. The Men's line-up is OK headed by Kenyans whilst the Women's is mostly domestic, headed by Giovanna Epis (now a 2:25 marathoner)
• Meeting International Montgeron-Essonne (Montgeron, FRA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; I've included this because someone might want to pay the 4.99 Euros for a month's worth of French meetings (see 2 posts above); This is a decent meeting. To give you an idea of the standard - in the M 100 there's Cisse, Devin Quinn & Zeze; Gabriel Tual, Smaili & Robert go in the 800; The Men's 5000 is pretty strong incl Gressier, Hendrix, Ndikumenayo & Foppen; Nicole Yeargin goes in the 400 and Emma Nwofor in the 100H against Valette, Compper & Koala
• Milla Urbana Real Valle de Cayón (Sarón, ESP) - Road Miles; Strong domestic fields in the elite races here, especially in the Women's which includes Marta Perez, Esther Guerrero, Solange Pereira, 18yo star Carla Dominguez and 2021 Euro U20 1500 medalist Mireya Arnedillo; The Men's race includes 3:33 man Jesus Gomez, steepler Fernando Carro, Kevin Lopez and Nassim Hassaous, 7th at the Euro XC Champs in Dublin
• Run Your City Cape Town 10k (Cape Town, RSA) - International road race; Good fields here, headed by Daniel Simiu Ebenyo (26:59 PB) and on the Women's side Genzebe Dibaba and Stella Chesang (31:14 PB)

Monday

• Gran Premio Internacional Madrid Marcha (Madrid, ESP) - World Race Walking Tour Gold meeting; Taking place in the heart of Madrid on the iconic Gran Vía which does indeed look like a very grand street! These 10km races are loaded with great athletes from across the globe, e.g., the Men's includes Olympic champ Massimo Stano, Percy Karlstrom, Kaihua Wang (CHN; no.2 A-T at 20km), Daniel Pintado (ECU), Caio Bonfim (BRA) & Evan Dunfee (CAN) amongst a number of big names; On the Women's side the field is led by Shinjie Qieyang, Kimberley Garcia (PER) & Johana Ordonez (ECU). For GB Bosworth, Lewis & Davies are competing; The live streams that LaLigaSportsTV have produced for Race Walking this year have been very good and the organisers have also been talking a big game regarding presentation of RW. So, I'm expecting great things from the live stream!

Monday to Friday 20th

• ISF Gymnasiade School Summer Games (Caen, FRA) - To be added to the bottom of the document once I've got to grips with the what and when!
