Further meetings will include The Ready Steady Tokyo meeting on May 9th, which will serve as an Olympic test event less than 12 weeks before athletics action gets underway at the Olympics, and also the popular Golden Spike meeting in Ostrava (May 19th), the Adidas Boston Games (May 23rd), the FBK Games in Hengelo (June 6th) and the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku (June 8th).

Link is from a Facebook group so that's probably why it won't share, and so it a secure site so won't let me link it.

Not the Diamond League, its the Continental Tour Gold. This makes more sense as there will be more Irish at these meets.

I'm so used to watching DL with Cram and Hutchings for years that I'd be a little gutted to not be able to access the YouTube stream (it would be geoblocked if TG4 had it).

Delighted TG4 have got the rights to Continental Tour Gold.

A VPN will get you around that issue.
