    I'm pretty sure the BBC will be covering all the Diamond League meetings. Although sometimes the coverage is only on the BBC Red Button, although they do show it on their normal channels too, but not always.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,200 ✭✭✭G-Money


    Diamond League is back, starting in Doha tomorrow night (Friday). Coverage on the BBC Red Button from 5-7pm.

    It doesn't seem to be getting coverage on any other BBC channel or on Eurosport when I checked about a week ago.

    I'm not sure but they used to show it live on the BBC Sport website when it was on the Red Button. Although I think a UK proxy is needed.

    Can I ask why this is being highlighted in the "athletics on tv" thread? Racewalking is not athletics...

    If it's on Wikipedia it must be true..

    Ostrava Grand Prix - Friday 6pm Eurosport and Eurosport HD. Bolt is running in the 100m.

    Not sure if it's repeated or if it's a new series of events on Saturday, 12.30pm Eurosport 2.

    IAAF Athletix - 7.30pm tonight (Thursday) Sky Sports 3 HD/Sky Sports 3

    It lasts 30 minutes and is reviewing the Shanghai Diamond League, some other events and has a feature on Kenenisa Bekele.

    Not sure what the show will be like. Hopefully it will be good, but I'm struggling to shake the vision of it being some show with a crappy cheap dance soundtrack over everything.

    This is a regular show which includes interviews/profiles of athletes as well as race reviews. Its actually fairly well done

    It's on Sky Sports on a regular basis (weekly I think). Features a round up of recent results, interviews with stars of the sport, some reports on how the sport is developing in different regions and there is the usual Colin Jackson segment (he often interviews athletes or does a report for the show).
    Towards the end of the season they re-cap the major events of the year. It's a good show, not exactly unmissable but a good watch for the elite athletics fan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,200 ✭✭✭G-Money


    Grrrr, no Bekele feature. Unless you count a 1 minute interview a feature.
