    Good week of Diamond League action this week.

    Diamond League Rome - Thursday 7pm BBC Three

    Diamond League Eugene (Prefontaine Classic) - Saturday 9pm BBC Three

    I might try and find a live stream of the Friday night Pre-classic event. Would love to see the Kenyan 10,000m trial.

    Edit: The BBC website seems to contradict the TV listings regarding the Eugene Diamond League, it's not on BBC Three it seems...

    Yeah, I think the Eugene Diamond League meet might only be on the Red Button, I guess they'll say for sure at the end of the coverage of the Rome event on Thursday night. I've checked the TV listings on the BBC website, on Sky, and on Entertainment Ireland and they all show BBC Three showing Pirates of the Carribean on Sat night.

    The only site saying it's on BBC Three is the athletics page of the BBC Sport website.

    Taken from UPC online TV-Guide

    Boston Marathon 2012 -- 02:00-05:00 / Tue / 05 Jun -- Setanta Ireland/Setanta HD

    The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual continually run marathon and ranks as one of the most prestigious road racing events on the calendar.



    Stockholm Marathon -- 07:50-08:30 / Mon / 04 Jun -- Eurosport/Eurosport HD Sports

    The 2012 Stockholm Marathon sees competitors run two laps through the central parts of Stockholm. The first lap is 17km and the second lap 25km, and totals 42,195m in length.

    Pretty short coverage of the Stockholm event.. Does anyone know if there is better coverage?

    9.76 for Bolt to win the 100m. Not too bad.

    Are Eurosport not showing Diamond League in GB and Ireland? That's how I'm getting all my athletics down here. You wouldn't want to rely on Australian TV channels for athletics coverage. Makes athletics TV coverage in Ireland seem like Ford Super Sunday!

    For the 2 DL events so far, Eurosport haven't. Thankfully the BBC is showing coverage and mercifully I have the Red Button access now so I'm able to see any events they don't show on BBC One/Two/Three/Four.

    I'd happily pay extra for some BBC style athletics channel that covered athletics all year around, including marathons etc.

    I'm guessing BBC have Cram, Storey and Hutchings? If so then it's the same coverage that Eurosport has. I guess in the UK and Ireland, the BBC has paid more for the coverage than British Eurosport, but outside of UK and Ireland normal Eurosport has great athletics coverage.

    Apparently the Pre-Classic will be streamed online at the location below. This is a 2 day event starting later tonight Irish time. There is a women's 10,000m event and the men's Kenyan Olympic 10,000m trial tonight, but its a late start for us, about 3.30am!

    I take it that Bolt's obituary writers will give it a rest now?

    Anyone else watching this on the Red Button? There's been about 3 or 4 "temporary faults" so far and the coverage is only on 10 mins :(

    Watching it on a Portuguese-language stream because UPC don't see fit to provide red button functionality. :mad:

    Thankfully they fixed the coverage and it was grand after about 20 minutes.

    The 5000m was good, another win for Farah. I wonder how well Bekele would have done had that faller not held him up a bit. The commentators seemed to think he did well.

    Very classy run from Felix, absolutely destroying <Snip> in the process. I think she'll do well to get all notions of the 400 out of her head and focus solely on the 200. If she does that then I don't see Jeter troubling her, and the only one who will stand in her way is VCB. Commentators mentioned she may do the 100/200 double. I think she'd be better forgetting about any double and throwing all her eggs in one basket, as it is a pretty good basket!

    Liu Xiang is incredible. What a run. It's his to lose in London, but anything can happen in hurdles.

    Never good seeing Merritt and Gatlin win races.
