Live streams for Friday 24th January to Wednesday 29th January:

Friday

• Dubai Marathon - in the early hours but being streamed on YouTube so you can watch later

Saturday

• Welsh Indoor Championships (Cardiff)
• New Balance Indoor Grand Prix (Boston, USA) - first leg of the World Indoor Tour

Sunday

• Osaka Women's Marathon (JPN) - as always a good field - a mix of some very good Africans, some of the top Japanese and a couple of others like Lisa Weightman & the surprisingly good Mongolian record holder; In order to snatch the 3rd Olympic spot away from the 3rd placer at the 2019 MGC (Olympic Trials) the Japanese women have to run under 2:22:23. Only Kayoko Fukushi in the domestic field has done that (4 years ago when winning this race in 2:22:17). Mizuki Matsuda has run exactly 2:22:23 in 2018. Rei Ohara, the current occupant of that 3rd Olympic spot, is also in the race. Her PB is 2:23:20. There's also a number of 2:25 to 2:27 Japanese women hoping for a big breakthrough. As I've done lately for Japanese races on at silly o'clock I'll post the race later if the broadcast recording turns up on YouTube (it likely will)
• Osaka Half Marathon (JPN) - Men & Women; Run concurrently with the women's marathon but in the opposite direction; Decent fields but there's probably no way you would choose this over the women's marathon. Fortunately it's being streamed on YouTube so you can watch later
• Scottish Senior and U17 Indoor Championships (Glasgow)
• Cinque Mulini (ITA) - the famous "5 Mills" cross country races; WA XC Permit
• Élan Indoor Meeting (Bratislava, SVK) - Aimee Pratt & Khahisa Mhlanga are amongst the Brits due to compete here

Wednesday 29th

• Internationales Springer-Meeting (Cottbus, GER) - some top, top athletes in this Women's HJ & Men's PV meeting plus 2 Brits

Next post on Thursday 30th for the beginning of a very busy few weeks of live streamed/broadcast events.

A reminder that there's top Women's HJ and Men's PV action from Cottbus tomorrow (Wednesday) from 5pm - details at the bottom of https://www.dropbox.com/s/i3jybz8mxh...01-29.odt?dl=0

They are YouTube & Facebook streams so you can jump back to the start whatever time you start watching.

Lasitskene no longer taking part. She was complaining the other day about being put in the Russian testing pool and how that could jeopardise her ability to get WA clearance to compete internationally ... ... I didn't quite catch her drift.

Live broadcast/stream for Friday 31st January:

Today I'm just posting details & links for the one meeting - tomorrow's 2nd leg of the World Indoor Tour in Karlsruhe.

Details & links at https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbc60jx2px...01-31.odt?dl=0

That gives me a bit more time to gather all the info/links for events from Saturday until Thursday. I'm going to be away from Monday to Thursday so have to post the info for the mid-week meetings before I go.
At the moment it looks like 12 definite/very-probable events plus 2 or 3 possibles.

I'll post all that tomorrow (Friday).

A cracking weekend of athletics with 8 indoor meetings being streamed as well as some road & cross country action.

• Dortmund Indoor Meeting (GER) - I don't believe this meeting has been streamed before; Some nice fields here with several good Brits competing. I like the look of the Women's 3000 in particular. Looking at the Women's 60 Hurdles field I wondered who on earth Jules de Bont is (7.84 PB!) ... it turns out it's a clerical error and "she" should be in the men's field!

By the way, if you miss any of the World Indoor Tour meetings (or Diamond Leagues) you can watch them via https://www.youtube.com/user/pedeshtrian/videos

The pace barely lets up over the next few days ... The next post will be on Monday 10th for the midweek meetings in Stockholm, Banska Bystrica (High Jump), Lodz, Athlone & (outdoor) Canberra.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams from Tuesday 11th February to Thursday 13th February:

New to the Live Streaming Links documents from now onwards ... colour coding to show which events will also be available on-demand to watch after the event has finished. All is explained in a key at the top of every document.

Tuesday

• Banskobystricka Latka (SVK) - the most prestigious High Jump meeting of the indoor season; Gale, Nedasekau, Levchenko & Mahuchikh are amongst those competing.
• Orlen Cup (Łódź, POL) - short sprints and field events.
• Spåret GP (Stockholm, SWE) - decent fields here; Headlined by the Men's 800 that includes Bosse, Kramer, Collins Kipruto & Middlebrigtsen.

Wednesday

Thursday

• Canberra Track Classic (AUS) - outdoor meeting; Looks like the best of the 3 Aussie summer season meetings so far this year; Good Women's 800 in particular.

For the Stockholm & Athlone meetings I've also provided a link for the host broadcast since it's not unknown for VincoSport to have problems with their stream!

Next post on Thursday 13th February for another packed weekend of streaming events. ISTAF Indoor (Berlin) and the first day of the BUCS Champs are on Friday so don't get caught out by that. And over this coming weekend there's also a real treat for those of us who appreciate a particular niche side of athletics!

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams for Friday 14th February to Sunday 16th February:

Yes, as alluded to a few days ago, there's a real treat for fans of Race Walking this weekend! If you listed the national championships you'd want to see, the Japanese and Spanish championships would be very high on that list and that's exactly what we have on the live streams this weekend! Both are such high calibre events that they also attract a number of inernational guest competitors too. There's also the Indian National Open RW Championships - a decent standard, possibly a nation making a gradual rise in race walking.

Good French meetings in Val de Reuil on Friday and Eaubonne on Monday but RMC Sport is not covering them this year. Seems strange that they've downgraded their athletics coverage in Olympic year.

Friday to Sunday

• BUCS Indoor Championships (Sheffield)

Friday

• ISTAF Indoor (Berlin)

Saturday & Sunday

• Indian National Open Race Walking Championships (Ranchi, IND)

Saturday

• USA Indoor Championships (Albuquerque)
• Porritt Classic (Hamilton, NZL) - outdoor meeting
• Balkan Indoor Championships (Istanbul)
• Muller Indoor Grand Prix (Glasgow)
• Brněnská laťka (Brno, CZE) - Women's High Jump meeting
• Japanese 20km Race Walking Championships (Kobe)
• Kumanichi 30km Road Race (Kumamoto, JPN)

Sunday

• Spanish 50km Race Walking Championships (Torrevieja)
• Barcelona Half Marathon - Roza Dereje is trying to break the WR; Plenty of good European representation, especially in the women's race - Reh, Arter, McCormack, Augusto etc; Ben Connor is in the men's
• Castellón Marathon AND 10km Castellón (ESP)
• Brazilian Race Walking Championships (Recife)
• Istanbul Indoor Cup
• 5km Herculis (Monaco) - Joshua Cheptegei presumably attempting to break Kipruto's 13:18 road WR
• Guadalajara International Half Marathon (MEX)
• Giulietta & Romeo Half Marathon (Verona, ITA)

All the details & links at https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqyf3dpyzd...02-16.odt?dl=0

Next post probably on Monday 17th February for Tuesday's Vic Milers Club (Melbourne), the World Indoor Tour in Liévin and the Sabadell indoor meeting (both Wednesday).

[LuckySpikes]

Ooh, we (I?) are being spoiled! Another Race Walking event, the Brazilian Championships, has been added for Sunday. Brazilian walkers are part of the wave of athletes making South America a force in world race walking. Caio Bonfim (2017 World bronze) is entered in the 35km and Erica de Sena (4th in Doha) in the 20km.

[LuckySpikes]

Having said on Thursday that tomorrow's (Monday) Meeting Féminin du Val d'Oise in Eaubonne is not being covered by RMC Sport this year, I'm pleased to say that another TV channel will be showing it live.

So, I will post details for that and the other mid-week meetings before tea-time tomorrow. The broadcast for Eaubonne starts at 6.45pm.

[LuckySpikes]

Live streams/broadcasts for Monday 17th February to Wednesday 19th February:

No start/entry lists for either of the Wednesday meetings at the time of writing but the preview for Sabadell does give a good indication of who's competing.

Monday

• Meeting Féminin du Val d'Oise (Eaubonne, FRA) - good women's-only meeting

Tuesday

• Vic Milers Club Meet #4 (Melbourne, AUS) - 800m & Mile races; Good-looking Men's 800 'A' race

Wednesday

• Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais (Liévin, FRA) - World Indoor Tour; If you don't have Eurosport, this is live on France Ô TV as well
• Miting Internacional de Catalunya (Sabadell, ESP) - decent meeting
