Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 1st April to Sunday 2nd April:
I said in my last major post that this weekend includes the third round of the Indian Grand Prix. However, that meeting has been rescheduled to 10th April.
Saturday to Sunday- Ongoing Australian Senior & U20 Track and Field Championships (Brisbane, QLD, AUS) - See 2 posts above
- Brazilian Mid & Long Distance Cup (Bragança Paulista, BRA) - The entry/startlists aren't out yet but the Preview article linked in the document highlights some good athletes competing, including Tatiane Raquel da Silva (9:25 South American Record holder last year in the Steeple) and Eduardo Ribeiro (1:46.6 800m PB)
- Ongoing South African Track & Field Championships (Potchefstroom, RSA) - See 2 posts above
- Prague Half Marathon (Prague, CZE) - WA Elite Label race; The Women's field includes 5 sub-67 athletes, headed by # 8 all-time, Irine Kimais (64:37). There's just 3 sub-60 Men competing, led by Benard Kimeli (59:07 PB). Also competing are GB's Paulos Surafel, Parker Stinson (USA) & Moira Stewartova (CZE)
- Cooper River Bridge Run (Charleston, SC, USA) - International 10km road race; It's really only worth mentioning the Men's field here because the TV broadcast doesn't have a camera on the Women's leaders (the first you see of them is the last 50 metres!) The Men's elite field is Kenyan-heavy and includes defending champ David Bett, Dominic Ondoro, recent collegian Athanas Kioko as well as Jacob Riley & Tyler McCandless
- Felix Sánchez Classic (Monte Plata, DOM) - WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting; There's very little info about this but the Preview article mentions that "stars of the Dominican Republic including Paulino, Ogando, Cofil and many more" will compete against athletes from 16 countries. It lists all those countries including the USA, Jamaica & England and Damion Thomas, Erick Edwards Jr & Cassandra Tate are amongst the foreign athletes
- Daegu International Marathon (Daegu, KOR) - WA Gold Label race; We've had some very good Korean marathons on the live streams lately and here's another one. The Men's field is particularly deep with 5 sub-2:06 athletes and a further 10 sub-2:08. Asefa Mengstu (2:04:06 PB) heads the field that has a number of quite familiar athletes such as Tadesse Abraham, Milkesa Mengesha (in his 2nd marathon), Abel Kirui and multiple 10,000m medalist behind Sir Mo, Paul Tanui, is making his marathon debut. Mongolian athletes love Korean marathons and they're here in force again, including Jamsran Olonbayar who 5 weeks ago in Osaka missed honorary Geordie Ser-Od Bat-Ochir's 2:08:50 NR by just 8 seconds. The Women's field has 6 athletes at 2:26 or faster, including Helalia Johannes, as well as others such as Mongolia's 2:28:03 NR-holder, Munkhzaya Bayartsogt
- Xiamen Marathon (Xiamen, CHN) - WA Platinum Label race; This race never quite meets the Label it's given by WA but the fields are still good. In the Men's race Sammy Kitwara (2:04:28 PB) heads a field that includes 6 sub-2:07 athletes. There's 5 sub-2:25 Women, headed by Gutemi Shone (2:20:11 PB). Pre-COVID the live stream always had English commentary so hopefully that returns now that this race has foreign athletes competing again
- Paris Marathon (Paris, FRA) - WA Elite Label race; There's more strong marathon fields here with 9 sub-2:07 Men, headed by Guye Adola & 2021 champ Elisha Rotich, and 7 sub-2:23 women as well as Linet Masai and new Croatian 2:23:39 NR-holder, Bojana Bjeljac
- Run Your City Gqeberha 10k (Gqeberha, RSA) - International road race; There's some very good athletes here but not particularly deep fields. Daniel Simiu Ebenyo & Isaac Kibet (UGA) are the favourites in a race that also includes Stephen Mokoka. Kenya's Diana Chesang (31:55 PB) is a hot favourite in the Women's race
- Berlin Half Marathon (Berlin, GER) - The big interest for Brits here will be the performances of McColgan, Sam Harrison & Thackery. They're up against Tsigie Gebreselama (65:46 PB). The Men's field is headed by Sebastian Sawe & Philemon Kiplimo, both 58-low athletes
- Azkoitia-Azpeitia International Half Marathon - Diego Garcia Memorial (Azpeitia, ESP) - WA Label race; This took place last weekend but there's 30 mins of highlights of it; The fields competing were decent, headed by Timothy Toroitich (61:01 PB) and Cynthia Kosgei (69:49 PB) respectively
- São Paulo International Marathon (São Paulo, BRA) - WA Label race; There's no info on who's competing here!
- Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run incl USA 10 Mile Championships (Washington DC, USA) - The line-ups here are good, headed by Uganda's 21yo Sarah Chelangat (30:24 10km PB), Sara Hall, the Bor brothers, Pat Tiernan & Woody Kincaid
Next major post on Thursday evening for the start, on Friday, of the Brazilian U20 Championships and the Arcadia Invitational, a big US High School meeting.Comment

Live streams for event starting on Friday 7th April:
It turns out that the Arcadia Invitational high school meeting in the US starts in the early hours UK time on Saturday so that will be included in the weekend's post instead.
Friday to Sunday- Brazilian U20 Championships (Cascavél, BRA) - All the champions here will be guaranteed selection for the South American U20 Championships taking place in Bogotá from 19th May. One of the stars competing is Renan Gallina who, aged 19, has already run 20.12 for 200
The next major post will be tomorrow (Friday) evening for a quieter weekend that includes the loaded Miramar Invitational Silver meeting in Florida, the really good Kanaguri Memorial mid & long distance meeting in Japan and the CARIFTA Games.Comment

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 8th April to Monday 10th April:
As you'll probably gather from my extensive teaser notes below, I'm very excited for the start of the Japanese season "proper". I hope that at least one or two of you will join me in following the Japanese season on the live streams - there's much to recommend it! Saturday's Kanaguri Memorial Distance Meeting kicks off the 2023 Japan GP series which is larger than ever at 18 meetings this year, the usual mix of sprints & field meetings, mid/long distance meetings and "general" meetings (with some historic meetings first run over 70 years ago). Six or 7 of them also have Continental Tour Bronze or Challenger status. They are very well supported by nearly all the best athletes in Japan and the vast majority of the meetings are very easy to watch for free on the internet (mostly YouTube). There's loads to look forward to, especially with Japan having a ton of young talent right now in the mid & long distances, both emerging and established. There's also a lot of very good young Kenyans based there, some of them World U20 champions/medalists. Sometimes (but not always) Kenyans do run away with the races but Japanese live streams are generally very good at also showing what's happening further down the field.
Just between now and mid-July alone, I'm estimating there will be at least 20 good Japanese meetings on the live streams - around 10 of them Japan GP series meetings, the Seiko Golden Grand Prix, the terrific Hokuren Distance Challenge series of 5 meetings in July and various championships, national, corporate & university. And Japanese athletes generally aren't race-shy so you get to see most of the top athletes competing many times (even many of their top marathoners run quite a few track races). In the 2023 Outdoors thread I'm going to try to report regularly on the Japanese action, and will also try to pay more attention to the non-distance stuff! Any observations/commentary by others is welcome too.
I'm hopeful that I'll also be able to add details for live streams of the Gunsan Saemangeum International Marathon in Korea and the Balkan Race Walking Championships.
Late Friday to Monday- Stawell Gift (Stawell, VIC, AUS) - A famous old meeting with handicap races, run on a grass track. The marquee races are the Stawell Gift 120m on Monday; There's a lot of good sprinters involved and the Women's 1000m Handicap includes Linden Hall, Bisset & Caldwell
- Ongoing Brazilian U20 Championships (Cascavél, BRA) - See post above
- Arcadia Invitational (Arcadia, CA, USA) - Big US High School meeting; There's a load of top high schoolers competing here. The Preview articles linked in the document cover it all pretty well
- CARIFTA Games (Nassau, BAH) - International (Caribbean) U20 & U17 meeting; This is a huge meeting for Caribbean juniors so a lot of very good athletes will be competing (sorry, the current entry lists - organised by country not event - are very hard to work through)
- Kanaguri Memorial Distance Meeting (Kumamoto, JPN) - Japan GP series; There's quality right across the board here in the senior GP 1500, 5000 & 10,000s with both the Men's & Women's 5000s particularly loaded. A word of caution though - there was quite a number of DNS's at last year's meeting (perhaps athletes not feeling quite ready to start their season?). Hopefully, that doesn't happen as much this year. Anyway, as it stands, there's some big names in the 1500s. In the Men's, star steeplechaser Ryuji Miura faces NR-holder Kazuki Kawamura and # 4 JPN A-T, Nanami Arai. Japan's best 3 face-off in the Women's 'A' race - Nozomi Tanaka, Ran Urabe & Yume Goto - although given Tanaka's superiority it should be another comfortable win for her. In this race - a bit on the short side for her - Yuma Yamamoto, the 2023 Asian Indoor bronze medalist at 3000 and recent collegian, makes her professional debut for one of the very best distance teams, Sekisui Chemical - the team of Hitomi Niiya, Sayaka Sato, Rina Nabeshima etc. The Men's 5000 'A' race has 6 of the fastest 15 Kenyans from 2022, headed by Isaac Kibet Ndiema (13:06 PB). The leading Japanese athletes are the lanky Yuta Bando (13:18 PB) and Keita Satoh who last year, aged 18, ran a 13:22.91 NU20R (as well as 3:37.2 at 1500). Joining them is another super-fast junior, Hiroto Yoshioka, who ran 13:22.99 last year, also aged 18 then. The Women's 5000 features 4 sub-15 Kenyan women including Eva Cherono (14:30.8 in 2021). 18yo Caroline Kariba (KEN) makes her 5000 debut - she ran 8:42 for 3000 last year. But perhaps the most intriguing entrant of the whole meeting is Uganda's 21yo Sarah Chelangat (30:24 10km in Valencia recently). It seems that she's moved to Japan now to run for Hitachi. Her 15:00 PB & NR is due some serious revision. Heading the Japanese contingent should be Momoka Kawaguchi & Nanami Watanabe, both 15:20's athletes, Kawaguchi coming off 2022 with PBs at 3, 5 & 10 and then representing Japan at World Cross this year. One of Japan's top marathoners, Mao Uesugi, also goes in the 5000 (although JRN says she's in the 10,000 instead). Her track PBs should really be a lot better than they are (15:41 PB). The 'B' races in Japanese long-distance are usually worth watching too. Given the great depth in distance running in Japan they're often good races - reasonably speedy and featuring lots of closely matched athletes. The Men's 5000 'B' race here has 5 athletes with a sub-13:22 PB. The Men's 10,000 line-up includes two sub-27 men, Rodgers Kwemoi & Bedan Karoki, although Karoki is not the athlete he once was. Tomoki Ota is the leading Japanese entrant with a 27:33 PB. The Women's 10,000 field is decent, headed by Dolphine Nyaboke Omare (KEN; 15:11 5000 PB) & Wakana Itsuki (31:58 PB). The fields for the High School 'A' races (Girls 3000 & Boys 5000) that precede the senior races are also very good quality. By the way, when tidying up the (translated) startlists for the Grand Prix 'A' & 'B' races and the Non-GP Women's 3000, I also added each athlete's PB
- Paderborner Osterlauf (Paderborn, GER) - International 10km road race; There's at least 3 good Kenyans in the Men's race, including Bravin Kiprop who ran 59:22 at last weekend's Berlin Half Marathon. Tsigie Gebreselama will be the favourite in the Women's race
- Miramar Invitational (Miramar, FL, USA) - WA Continental Tour Silver meeting; Many of the fields are stacked for this mostly sprints & field meeting (the 800s aren't so strong). For example, in the Men's 200 there's Bednarek, Gardiner, Hughes, Tebogo & Coleman and in the Women's 400 Shericka Jackson, McPherson, Little & Whitney. Other big names competing include Seville, Steiner, Hudson-Smith, McMaster & Richardson
- Indian Grand Prix - Meet 3 (Bengaluru, IND) - These are usually good events. Hima Das (W 200) is amongst the entrants
Next major post possibly on Monday evening. If not, definitely on Tuesday evening.Comment

Wednesday- ASA Athletics Grand Prix 1 (Tshwane nr Pretoria, RSA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger meeting; There's a number of big names competing including Omanyala, Sekgodiso, E Manangoi, Alkana & Zeney van der Walt. The Men's 400 looks like the event of the meeting with Makwala, Abderrahman Samba, Lythe Pillay & Zakithi Nene

Live streams/broadcasts for event starting on Friday 21st April:
Friday to Sunday- Japanese University Individual T&F Championships (Hiratsuka, JPN) - After the NCAA the Japanese University athletics system is the strongest and deepest in the world.

Live streams/broadcasts for Saturday 22nd April to Monday 24th April:
Saturday to Sunday- Ongoing Japanese University Individual T&F Championships (Hiratsuka, JPN) - See the post above
- Hyōgo Relay Carnival (Kobe, JPN) - WA Continental Tour Challenger meeting; Japan GP series; Whilst there's plenty of relays here across the age groups there's also Grand Prix events in the mid/long-distance and field events. There's good fields in the 10,000's with 6 sub-27:15 men including Richard Kimunyan & Jonathan Ndiku and in the Women's Momoka Kawaguchi (31:57 PB) faces 3 good East Africans including Hellen Ekalale (31:22 PB) as well Minami Yamanouchi who is returning to some good form (31:18 PB in 2018). The "Asics Challenge" Men's 10,000s are decent and Yuka Ando (2:21 marathoner) goes in the Women's 5000. In the Women's 1500 Nozomi Tanaka faces the other two best Japanese - Ran Urabe & Yume Goto - Tanaka looking to get back to winning ways after losing to Goto 2 weeks ago. Also racing is Margaret Akidor (KEN), worth much more than her 4:11 PB having run 8:32 for 3000 last year. In the Men's 1500 NR-holder Kazuki Kawamura faces a decent field that also includes Ryoji Tatezawa & Yuta Bando. There's some good match-ups in both the 2000m Steeple races and some decent quality in the field events, including Sumire Hata (6.67 PB) in the Women's Long Jump and some participants from 3 other Asian nations in the other events
- Nippon Sports Science University Long Distance Meeting AKA Nittai University Time Trials (Yokohama, JPN) - These meetings are popular with athletes in Japan and on this occasion it includes Hyuga Endo (13:10 PB) in the 5000 'A' race, facing some good Kenyans. A good Men's 10,000 'A' race includes 2022 world silver medalist Stanley Waithaka. There's some good quality too in the Women's races, especially in the 3000 'A' race which includes 2:21 marathoner Rika Kaseda and the Kenyans, Tabithanjeri Kamau & Judy Jepngetich
- TOKYO Spring Challenge (Tokyo, JPN) - WA Continental Tour Challenger meeting; Japan GP series (200m, 400m, 600m & 2 Miles); After all that distance running above there's some good sprinting going on here. In the Men's 200 Kiryu & Yoshihiro Someya (20.48 PB) are amongst the field and Australia's Riley Day heads the Women's field that also includes Kristina Knott (PHI). The Men's 400 looks competitive with 3 sub-46 men and the Men's 600 includes 2 of Japan's best 800 athletes - Usuda & Kaneko. In the Women's 600 there's good depth (at the Japanese level) with Yume Kitamura (2:00.9 PB) the fastest 800 athlete. The 2 Mile fields aren't as large as hoped (perhaps the unfamiliar distance has something to do with that?)
- Polish 10,000m Championships (Olkusz, POL) - The Women's 'A' race looks decent with 3 sub-33 athletes - Paulina Kaczynska, Iwona Bernadelli & Aleksandra Lisowska, the latter probably the favourite. I'm not as familiar with the Men's field, with only one athlete having (just) broken 29 minutes
- MVP Velocity Fest 13 (Kingston JAM) - WA Continental Tour Challenger meeting; There's a number of very good athletes competing here. The Women's 100 is quite loaded with S Jackson, Pinto, Strachan, Brianna Williams & Morrison. Zharnel Hughes is in the Men's with Ackeem Blake, Tyquendo Tracey, Rodney, Emre Barnes & Hassan Taftian. Sada Williams goes in the 400 with J Russell and Toby Harries is in the 200 with T Tracey
- Nagano Marathon (Nagano, JPN) - This doesn't have the crazy depth that we've become accustomed to in the big Japanese marathons but for 4 Japanese elites competing it's a MGC Wildcard event whereby they can still qualify for their Olympic Marathon Trials, the Marathon Grand Championship in October. Michael Githae (KEN; 2:07:28 PB) leads the field and Kento Nishi is the leading domestic runner with a 2:08:11 PB. There is no elite invited women's field but 2:34 athlete Yumiko Kinoshita is the fastest in that race
- Gifu Seiryu Half Marathon AKA Naoko Takahashi Cup (Gifu, JPN) - WA Gold Label race; It's quite a coup for the organisers to get Tirunesh Dibaba here and, given she's working her way back, she may have a proper race on her hands against Dolphine Nyaboke Omare (KEN; 67:56 PB) and some top Aussies - Batt-Doyle, Rose Davies & Gregson. Reia Iwade is the fastest Japanese (69:45 PB & 2:23 marathon) but hasn't been in that kind of shape for 2 or 3 years. In the Men's race there's 4 sub-60 Kenyans, headed by Amos Kurgat (59:34 PB). The Japanese entry is headed by Kiyosho Koga (60:49) and Ed Goddard (AUS) is also competing
- Nagano Prefecture Inter-Municipal Ekiden (Nagano, JPN) - I've no idea who's competing but judging by previous races the standard at the front of the race is quite good. I think there'll be 40-odd teams competing
- Women's Challenge 10km Grand Prix series Round 1 (Cape Town, RSA) - I always enjoy this series of 6 races, one a month until October, which often brings together many of South Africa's best with athletes from the rest of Africa, most notably Ethiopia. Tadu Teshome (aka Nare; Recent 2:17:36 marathon) has been a regular at this series for the last 2 or 3 years. In this round Selem Gebre (ETH), runner-up in this race last year, goes along with a couple of compatriots and the domestic entrants include Glenrose Xaba
- Belgrade Marathon (Belgrade, SRB) - WA Label race; No idea of who's competing here but the website promises around 20 Africans with sub-2:10 PBs
- Madrid Marathon & Half Marathon (Madrid, ESP) - Both WA Label races; The fields aren't super deep here, headed in the marathon by 3 sub-2:06 Men and 5 women at 2:26 or better, led by Afera Godfay (ETH; 2:22:41 PB) and including Marta Galimany (ESP; 2:26:14 NR). Japanese-based Kenyan, Andrew Lorot (59:54 PB) is the fastest in the Half Marathon field
- Vienna City Marathon (Vienna, AUT) - WA Label race; Sondre Moen heads the Men's field that includes 5 sub-2:08 athletes. Visiline Jepkesho & Magdalyne Masai head a group of 4 Women who've run 2:23 or better
- Hamburg Marathon & Half Marathon (Hamburg, GER) - The Men's field has had some big name withdrawals but still includes the likes of Brazil's Daniel do Nascimento (2:04:51 PB), Tsegaye Kebede & European Champion, Richard Ringer. There's lots to follow in the Women's race headed by Tiruye Mesfin (2:18:47 PB). Giovanna Epis is attacking Valeria Straneo's 2:23:44 Italian Record. She needs to improve her PB by 11 seconds to achieve that. With a 66:33 Half PB, Dorcas Tuitoek (KEN) should be capable of much better than her 2:24:54 PB. The 2018 Commonwealth 10,000 champ Stella Chesang (UGA) makes her marathon debut. She has 30:40 and 68:11 PBs on the road
- London Marathon (London, GBR) - WA Elite Platinum Label race; No need to big this up - it's absolutely loaded! Don't forget that on the iPlayer there's an elite-only feed (with comms) if you get annoyed by all the interruption to the elite coverage on BBC1. This is also the feed that will be on the unofficial stream I've linked to (for those outside the UK who can't otherwise watch it)
- Korzeniowski Warsaw Race Walking Cup incl Polish 20km Race Walking Championships (Warsaw, POL) - World Race Walking Tour Gold meeting; These fields are quite loaded with real quality at the top. The Men's race has a strong Central & South American contingent facing some top Europeans - the likes of Brian Pintado (ECU), Ever Palma (MEX), Christopher Linke (GER), Caio Bonfim (BRA) and Luis Alberto Amezcua (ESP). In the Women's race Double world champ Kimberly Garcia (PER) goes against Katarzyna Zdzieblo, the double Silver medalist from Eugene 2022. There's a good supporting of cast of South Americans such as Erica de Sena (BRA) & Johana Ordonez (ECU) as well as Robyn Stevens (USA), the improving Saskia Feige (GER) & Britain's Bethan Davies
- Cape Milers Club/Endurocad Middle Distance Invitational - Meet 3 (Cape Town, RSA) - WA Continental Tour Challenger meeting; This includes the South African trials for the World Road Mile Championships in late September. As of yet, there's not much info on who's competing but the 2 previous meetings this month have been quite good
- Padova Marathon & Half Marathon (Padova, ITA) - The Men's marathon is headed by a few athletes with recent bests in the 2:08 to 2:10 range, although Jonathan Maiyo ran 2:04:56 eleven years ago. There's 3 sub-61 men in the Half Marathon. The Women's races don't look as competitive with 2 clear Ethiopian favourites - Alemtsehay Asefa (2:24:42 PB) and Likina Amebaw (69:01 PB)
Next major post on Tuesday evening for the USA 1 Mile Road Championships and the ASA Athletics Grand Prix 3 in Potchefstroom.Last edited by LuckySpikes; 23-04-23, 00:27.Comment
