Live streams/broadcasts for Wednesday 18th May to Thursday 19th May:
Wednesday- Meeting International Città Di Savona - Memorial Giulio Ottolia (Savona, ITA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; There's some good fields here, e.g., Jacobs, Vicaut & Cisse in the 100, the Women's 200 including Paulino, Neita, Dobbin & Kaddari and a good Women's 100 Hurdles; There's a few other Brits competing too
- Kanto Region University Championships (Tokyo, JPN) - A lot of the top Unis are in this region so it's a pretty strong championships; Unfortunately, the final day of track action is on a TV channel we can't watch but there's plenty of finals before then (and the Sunday morning Men's half marathon)
- USATF Distance Classic (Walnut, CA, USA) - WA Continental Tour Silver meeting; Good international fields for this mid-distance meeting, e.g., McBride, Jewett, Saruni & Harris in the M 800. The Women's 1500 in particular is stacked with Klosterhalfen, Nozomi Tanaka, Abbey Caldwell (AUS), Marta Freitas Pen and a whole host of good Americans including Osika & Schlachtenhaufen; Neil Gourley and Jenny Nesbitt are also competing
Next major post on Thursday evening for Friday's events - Track Night NYC (a good mid-distance meeting), Pole Vault in Poland, the Alytus Race Walking Festival (LTU), and the Ibero-American Championships which continue through to Sunday.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Friday 20th May:
Track Night NYC that I mentioned in the last post is actually on in the early hours of Saturday so will be a part of tomorrow's post instead.
Friday to Sunday- Ibero-American Championships (La NucÃa & Torrevieja (Alicante), ESP) - I'm really looking forward to this. A biennial event for the Iberian countries and any country in the Americas and Africa where Spanish or Portuguese is the first language (though there's only a handful of Africans entered). Many of the 23 countries attending have selected strong teams (max 2 per nation per event) and as a result there's a lot of established names competing and many of the fields are good. The standout fields include the horizontal jumps, the Race Walking fields and the Women's 400 with Paulino, Roxana Gomez, Paola Moran (MEX), Gabby Scott (PUR) & Catia Azevedo
- International Race Walking Festival Alytus 2022 (Alytus, LTU) - OK fields for the senior 20km races, including a few good Ukrainians, but I think this has suffered this year by being right inbetween the World Tour Gold meetings in Madrid (last Monday) & La Coruña next weekend
- Lisek w domu - Fox at Home (Duszniki, POL) - International Men's Pole Vault meeting; Every top-class male pole vaulter has to have his own meeting and the entry list for Lisek's is decent without being dazzling
Next major post tomorrow (Friday) evening for the weekend's events.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 21st May to Sunday 22nd May:
The European meetings are starting to ramp up and it will get very busy, very quickly!
Saturday to Sunday- Ongoing Ibero-American Championships (La NucÃa & Torrevieja (Alicante), ESP) - See 2 posts above
- Ongoing Kanto Region University Championships (Tokyo, JPN) - See 3 posts above
- Portarathlon (Naxos, GRE) - World Combined Events Tour Bronze meeting; One for the CE afficionados only, with just 2 Women over 6000 points (Hanna Kasyanova & Sofia Ifantidou) and none of the Men over 7600 points
- Track Night NYC (New York, USA) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; International mid-distnace meeting (800s to 5000); The highlight here is a very good Women's 800 with Wilsons Ajee & Allie, Adelle Tracey, Olivia Baker, Sadi Henderson & 16yo mega-talent Sophia Gorriaran; The other 'A' races vary in quality. Lizzie Bird heads a semi-decent Steeple field
- Halle International Throws AKA Hallesche Werfertage (Halle, GER) - A number of good names competing here and several of Britain's best are lining up; The Women's Shot Put looks particularly strong
- Göteborgsvarvet incl Swedish Half Marathon Championships (Gothenburg, SWE) - International Half Marathon; Good fields here with 3 sub-60 Men and 4 sub-68 Women, including Tigist Assefa who won the Adizero Road to Records half 3 weeks ago in 67:28
- Lange Laufnacht (Karlsruhe, GER) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; International mid-distance meeting (800 to 5000); Not as strong as previous years but the M 1500 'A' race looks competitive as does the Women's 800 'A' race including Vanessa Scaunet (BEL; 2:02.0 PB) & Claire Mooney. Britain's Eloise Walker goes in the 5000 alongside the likes of Lisa Rooms (BEL) & Sara Christiansson (SWE; 15:39 PB)
- Birmingham Diamond League (Birmingham, GBR)
- Spåret 5000m (Stockholm, SWE) - Decent field in the 'A' race with the likes of Emil Blomberg (8:20 steepler), Kalle Berglund (3:33.7 NR at 1500) and fast Danish youngster, Joel Ibler Lilleso
- Papaflessia (Kalamata, GRE) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; The Long Jump comps are definitely the feature here with Tentoglou & Montler and also a good Women's field. The Women's HJ is also pretty good and there's a decent W 800 with Sarna, Sclabas & Evangelidou. Elsewhere there's a smattering of good foreign athletes in amongst some good Greeks, including Skrzy in the W 100
- Milla Urbana de Aranda de Duero (Aranda de Duero, ESP) - Road Miles; The Spanish do love their road miles! By the looks of it there's quite strong domestic fields for this, including Esther Guerrero and Olympic 800 finalist Adrian Ben
- Loughborough International (Loughborough, GBR) - The usual match format with a ton of guest races thrown in too; Loughborough seem to have gone out of their way to make it as difficult as possible to browse the fields easily! Why are neetings in this country so bad at presenting athletics info?!
- Great Manchester Run (Manchester, GBR) - International 10km road race; Strong domestic fields especially in the Women's race, augmented by some strong international competition in the shape of Obiri, Sara Hall, McSweyn, Jack Rayner & the Robertson brothers. Mo Farah has withdrawn
- Mityng Gwiazd na Rynku Kościuszki AKA Meeting of the Stars at Kościuszko Square (Białystok, POL) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; City square meeting - M + W Shot Put, W High Jump and M Pole Vault; Field info is a bit scant but there's several big name Poles as well as athletes such as Mirela Demireva, Matt Ludwig & Harry Coppell
- International Meeting of "Castiglione Della Pescaia" (Grosseto, ITA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; A nice little meeting this, possibly stronger than it's ever been before (taking place in Grosseto this year instead of Castiglione); The two big draws are likely to be Sasha Zhoya (110H) & Omanyala (100 & 200) but don't ignore the rest. There's a good Men's 800 with 5 sub-1:45 athletes including Tuka and Italy's new "find" (i.e., transferee), Catalin Tecuceanu. The Men's 5000 is pretty good with Oscar Chelimo, Boniface Kibiwott, Santiago Catrofe (URU) & Jerry Motsau. The Men's TJ is strong with Andy Diaz, Triki & 3 good Chinese. The Women's 1500 is full of good young Ethiopians and Kenyans as well as del Buono & Elena Bello (4:09 PB recently for this 800m specialist). Borthwick & Lake compete in the HJ with Geraschenko, Vallortigara & Trost. There's also a few other Brits competing, e.g., Banigo & Marrs
Next major post on Monday evening for loads of action on Tuesday and Wednesday, including several European meetings (at least 2 of them Continental Tour Bronze) and the beginning of the NCAA Preliminary Rounds (AKA Regionals).Comment

Added to page 3 of the latest document 2 posts above is streaming for the JAAA/SDF Jubilee Series 2.1 meeting in Kingston, Jamaica. Lots of big names are competing there. It starts in 30 minutes but it's on YouTube so it's available any time.
Also, Ruth Chepngetich is also racing the Great Manchester Run tomorrow (missed off my teaser notes).Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Tuesday 24th May to Wednesday 25th May:
The possible streaming for the NCAA West Preliminary Round (AKA West Regionals) would actually start at midnight as Wednesday turns to Thursday but, even though I'm making another major post on Wednesday evening, it makes sense to keep the listing for it in the same document as the East Preliminary Round which does start on Wednesday (definitely being streamed).
Besides that, there's 3 (!) WACT Bronze meetings on Wednesday, two of them on YouTube.
Tuesday- Memorial LudvÃka Daňka (Turnov, CZE) - This meeting is known for its Men's Discus comp and this year it includes Smikle, Wrobel & Ortega; In the other track & field events the fields aren't great but there's still some good Czechs involved (e.g., Maki & Mezulianikova in the W 800) as well as a few decent Ukrainians and some lesser Jamaicans such as Michael Bentley
- Kansai Region University Championships (Osaka, JPN) - A decent standard in many of the events here
- NCAA East Preliminary Round (Bloomington, IN, USA) - AKA East Regionals; This is definitely live streaming but you'd need to watch it live because it won't be available on-demand afterwards (unless someone captures the stream and uploads it ... unlikely?)
- International Jumping Meeting "Filathlitikos Kallithea" (Kallithea, GRE) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Good international fields here, e.g., in the Men's LJ there's Tentoglou, Montler, Lasa & Changzhou Huang (CHN; 8.33 PB) and in the Women's TJ there's Franklin, Karydi, Danismaz & Roxana Gudoyarova (UZB; 14.38 PB); Also includes HJ & PV
- Lahti Games (Lahti, FIN) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; International fields here but not stellar ones. The highlight will probably be the W 100H with Korte, Hurske, Neziri, Hanna Plotitsyna (UKR) & Jamaican youngster, Crystal Morrison. The 3 Finns had a lot of great battles against each other in 2019 but haven't all raced each other much since then because Korte has been injured quite a lot; There's a couple of Brits here - Alex George (3000m vs Topi Raitinen & Per Svela (NOR)) & Bianca Williams is in the 100 against Kortetmaa & Ratnikova (UKR); The Finnish TV broadcasts of these GP meetings are always excellent and they show loads of field events too
- International Meeting "Anhalt 2022" (Dessau-Roßlau, GER) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Pretty good fields in many of the events here including the M 800 with Webb, van Diepen, Borkowski, Randolph, Rozmys & Mills; Some of the big names competing are Mihambo (LJ), Vetter (vs 3 other 90m men), Omanyala & Swiety-Ersetic (vs Kaczmarek in the 400); Beware ... in the past the live stream has been guilty of focusing too much on Mihambo & Vetter (e.g., lengthy shots of Mihambo sitting down, Vetter deep in thought, Mihambo tying her laces, Vetter eating a banana etc), resulting in them actually not showing a few of the races. I hope they don't repeat those shenanigans again!!
- Meeting Iberoamericano (Huelva, ESP) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Whilst there's rarely any superstars competing at this meeting it's always pretty strong with wide international representation and lots of good match-ups. It's hard to pick a standout event this year but there's a lot of very good athletes competing; There's several Brits in action - Aimee Pratt, Strickler & in the PV Bradshaw, Caudery & Cook
- ? NCAA West Preliminary Round (Fayetteville, AR, USA) - AKA West Regionals; If you remember last year, someone re-streamed the ESPN streams on YouTube. Hopefully, the same happens again
Next major post on Wednesday evening.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Thursday 26th May to Friday 27th May:
Although Distance Night at the Pre Classic is on Friday night in Eugene, it's not happening until the early hours of Saturday UK time. So, the listing for that will be part of the next major post on Friday evening.
Thursday- Liese Prokop Memorial (St. Pölten, AUT) - WA Continental Tour Challenger series; The quality of events varies quite a bit here. There's a good Men's Discus including Ortega, Weisshaidinger & Smikle. Fajdek is in the Hammer with Bence Pasztor. Amongst the other better events are Desiree Henry & Laviai Nielsen in the 100 with Forster (SVK), Pirkova (CZE), Lindner (AUT) & Megan Tapper. Tapper is also in the 100H and should walk that but there's a few decent Europeans in there - Loncarek (CRO), Prezelj (SLO) & Strametz (AUT). GB's Rhoden-Stevens & Mingeli go in the 100 vs Jan Volko
- Meeting International SATUC (Toulouse, FRA) - Mid-distance meeting; Two good fields here. Bedrani, Tindouft, Blomberg & Seddon are part of a strong M Steeple field. The M 800 looks good too with a load of 1:44/1:45 athletes. The Women's fields aren't as good though
- NCAA D2 Championships (Allendale, MI, USA) - Always worth a watch I think
- ? NCAA West Preliminary Round (Fayetteville, AR, USA) - See post above
- Ongoing Kansai Region University Championships (Osaka, JPN) - See post above
- Ongoing NCAA East Preliminary Round (Bloomington, IN, USA) - See post above
- Poznań Athletics Grand Prix (Poznań, POL) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; Nice meeting with a lot of good athletes competing, including several Brits. The Women's 100 includes del Ponte, Vitoria Cristina Rosa (BRA) and GB's Lansiquot & Awuah. Rosa and Lansiquot are also down for the 200. Ben Pattison goes up against the likes of Tuwei & Rozmys in the 1000. In the W 300, Kielbasinska & Baumgart-Witan face off. The W 800 is good and includes Ellie Baker, Sarna, Bendere Oboya (AUS) continuing her move up from the 400, Gajanova, Wielgosz (nee Sabat) & Deborah Rodriguez (URU). There's a pretty good W 2000SC with Michelle Finn, Meyer (GER), Krolik (POL), Palou (FRA) & Toth (HUN). Yohan Blake goes in the 200 - these days that 19.26 looks a bit strange next to his name! The field events look competitive and also feature some good names
Next major post on Friday evening for a busy weekend of action including the Eugene DL, Götzis, the big Race Walking meeting in La Coruña, the Manchester BMC Grand Prix, the European Cup 10,000m, the Ottawa Marathon and several pretty good European meetings.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 26-05-22, 13:05.Comment

For anyone who was trying to watch this on the original Facebook links, it's on YouTube instead at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00R3YcPJnXw
I hate it when they do that! Surely they know in advance where they're going to stream it?

Hi,
I also want to thank You for the work and effort You put in to deliver all those links! It's incredible to be able to watch athletic events several times a week. Earlier I visited Watchathletics.com to get the links but then I found out about this forum and noticed at once that You have much more links and much better information.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hats off!Comment
