2012 USA Olympic Marathon Trials Houston

Yeah, it seems the youtube rebroadcast was taken down. Does this mean that we will not be able to watch it online anymore? It was up yesterday, but no explanation anywhere why it was taken down.

Is there any posting of the coverage out there? I recorded the NBC show and when I went to watch it, DirectTV displayed a BS message that the provider refused to boroadcast coverage in my area!!

Anywhere to watch race online?!

Juat finished watching the tape delay on tv. Horrible that they couldn't interrupt cartoons to show it live. I am no longer suprised that this country doesn't care about running until the Olympics are on. NBC is showing the dog jumping championships now. It is disgusting that the tremendous efforts of our athletes are on par with dogs catching frisbees. I am also upset that I was unable to see a fellow teammates for two hours of viewing, not one minute of coverage of anyone not in the lead pack. Did they not have enough cameras? I bet they will have multiple angles to see the dog jumping. Craig has a lot more work to do to get USATA out of the basement of American sports.

Thanks for covering this! YAAY!

This is not spam...it's a link to viewing the trials

Seriously? No live coverage? How can anyone expect America to get excited about this sport or support their athlete's if they can't see them?!

Has anyone figured out how to listen to live coverage?

If we can't watch it, the international competition can't either. Especially if great times are run, it lends a bit of mystery to our team. And they can take that mystery to London.

You've said it best, Hilary!

I cant believe they are not showing the races live online!!!?? Where is universal sports? This is pathetic!

Don't know if anyones heard the news but RUPP has withdrawn from the trials! According to Oregonlive.com , who interviewed Rupp and Salazar, "If he runs a marathon now, he wont be able to run any indoor meets"- A.S. Furthermore Alberto stated that he wants to work on Rupp's speed in the meantime rather than have him run the marathon.

This event will not be viewable in my area either. I cannot express how disappointed and frustrated I am about this. I can watch minor track meets in Holland but I can't get the US Olympic trials on either television or computer. I have been an ARDENT track fan since the age of ten. I volunteer at local youth meets and follow the progress of young runners. But at 44, the USATF has just about snuffed-out my enthusiasm by denying me the opportunity to watch this event and through their general mismanagement of this sport.

USATF and NBC are virtually destroying the sport. They only get good ratings every year because there is nowhere else to watch the event, and then they falsely conclude that fans are content as a result. With today's technology, sports broadcasts should be providing MORE viewing options for the fans, not perpetually frustrating them with inadequate coverage and amateur commentary.

Wake up USATF and NBC! If you really care about the sport and the fans, then actually do something about the current situation. If you don't want your viewers to believe that you're only in it for the advertising money, then take a stand, lose a bit of money, and revamp your coverage of ALL Olympic sports; fans know it can, and should, be done better.

The time for the TV broadcast has been removed from various places where it was previously listed. Is there to be no coverage at all ...?
