Preview for the World Athletics Indoor Gold meet in Qazaqstan on Saturday.  Still waiting confirmation about where it's going to be shown though!  :question:

 

Duplantis among stars in Astana for first World Indoor Tour Gold meeting of 2024 | PREVIEW | World Athletics

Aren't the indoor gold meets on YouTube? Or is it only the outdoor continental gold meets?

Watchathletics.com says it'll be on YouTube but they've often been wrong:

The live stream of the Astana Indoor Meet for Amin Tuyakov Prizes will be available on the World Athletics YouTube channel. Additionally, the event will be broadcast live on numerous TV channels across various countries. The full list of streaming and TV channels will be made available here one day prior to the start of the meet.

Well in :GBR last year they were on the Pay TV service Viaplay, but there is no confirmation this time.  Presumably YT, but just waiting for WA to confirm - they usually put a How To Watch Where You Are post on the website.

When on YouTube they're usually geoblocked in any country that has the rights although I think they forgot to do it last year for Maurie Plant meet (Melbourne) cos I watched on YouTube.

Yeah, that's exactly the trouble.  I'm a worrier, I admit!  :old:

Geoblocks on YouTube tend to be easy to bypass.

It's how I've been watching most short track World Cups :p 

 

Won't need it for Astana athletics though, that'll be on TV here (Ziggo Sport), presumably even with my favourite athletics (and cross-country skiing) commentator for extra fun.

18 year old Peyton Craig just broke the 28 year old u20 Australian record for the 800m clocking 1:45.77. 17 year old Cam Myers also lopped nearly four seconds off his PB with 1:47.11.

 

 

 

Junior athletics in Australia has been a bit more lively over the last year or so. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the young ones are more motivated because of a home Olympics coming up even if it's another 8 years away.

Yup, here we are!  Good news for fans in :GBR, not such good news for :VIN

So it’s free but on World Athletics own website which requires registration.  :mumble:
 

Not sure if “hey, let’s do everything a completely new way and announce it to the World with less that 24 hours to go” would be my plan, but I’m sure that competent people are in charge.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
