    Just wondering if Sky Sports has any decent athletics coverage? I'm thinking not just news updates, but coverage of various athletics events, e.g. Diamond League, marathons and whatever else might be on?

    Unfortunately my cable TV supplier does not provide Eurosport so I'm limited to whatever is on the terrestrial channels.

    To be honest no. The only athletics you get on SS is IAAF Athletix show (half an hour magazine type round up show) and few of the GB schools championships. Even Eurosport dont have majority of DL rights (cant remember if they showed any last year?) and only have the odd Grand Prix meeting from the European circuit

    BBC/BBC red button is the best place to get coverage. Flotrack.org is good for streams of US collegiate and Runnerspace has rights to all USATF championship races.

    These are among the best sources of coverage. Letsrun and boards are handy for finding people who have other links also

    Yeah the BBC isn't bad. Unfortunately I don't have access to the Red Button either, except that I have a UK proxy that I can use to watch stuff on my computer. I kind of just wish I could watch the stuff on my main TV.
