Live Coverage Streamed on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, and Peacock

STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 7, 2021 – NBC Sports presents live coverage of the Chicago Marathon this Sunday, Oct. 10 at 8 a.m. ET and the Boston Marathon Monday, Oct. 11 at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Peacock.

The Chicago Marathon field is expected to feature Americans Galen Rupp, a two-time Olympic medalist and 2017 Chicago Marathon champion, and Sara Hall who will attempt to break the American marathon record, as well as reigning world champion Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya. NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard calls the action alongside analysts two-time Olympian Kara Goucher and seven-time Paralympian Chris Waddell.

The Boston Marathon, celebrating its 125th anniversary, returns to its traditional route this year after the 2020 race was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fourteen former champions highlight this year’s elite field, including 2018 Boston Marathon Champion and two-time Olympian Des Linden. Fellow Americans Jordan Hasay, who twice has finished third in Boston, as well as Molly Huddle, a 28-time national champion on the roads and track who returns to Boston for a second time, also look to factor into the race. They will be challenged by 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Mare Dibaba and Yebrgual Melese, both from Ethiopia. Two-time men’s winner Lelisa Desisa, who is also from Ethiopia, headlines the men’s field and will be challenged by a pair of Americans in five-time Olympian Abdi Abdirahman and Scott Fauble, the top American finisher at the 2019 edition of this race.

Swangard, Goucher, Waddell, and NBC Sports Boston’s Amina Smith call the Boston Marathon.

In addition to Peacock, the races will stream live on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

Allyson Felix, Dalilah Muhammad, Ryan Crouser, Richardson and a Host of Olympians Highlight Coverage of NBC Sports’ Final 2021 USATF ‘Journey to Gold – Tokyo Outdoor Series’ Event

STAMFORD, Conn. – August 18, 2021 – Sha’Carri Richardson will face all three Tokyo Olympic medalists in the women’s 100m, headlining a star-studded field in the Diamond League 2021 Prefontaine Classic as NBC Sports’ live coverage of the 2021 USATF ‘Journey to Gold – Tokyo Outdoor Series’ concludes on Saturday, August 21 from the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. NBC will present live coverage from 4:30-6 p.m. ET Saturday, with Peacock’s live coverage begins at 4 p.m. ET prior to live streaming NBC’s 90-minute show.

Richardson, competing in her first event since the U.S. Track & Field Trials, will face the three women’s 100m Tokyo Olympics medalists: Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah (gold), Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (silver) and Shericka Jackson (bronze).

Also expected to compete in Saturday’s field are Allyson Felix – who in Tokyo became the most decorated American Track & Field athlete ever – in the women’s 200m, Tokyo Olympics 400m hurdle silver medalist Dalilah Muhammad, 800m gold medalist Athing Mu, shotput gold medalist Ryan Crouser, Tokyo Olympians Ajee Wilson, Emma Coburn, Matthew Centrowitz and more. The men’s 200m is expected to feature Tokyo silver and bronze medalists Americans Kenny Bednarek (silver) and Noah Lyles (bronze). In the men’s shot put, gold medalist Crouser, who set an Olympic record in Tokyo with a 23.30m throw and a world record in Eugene at the Olympic Trials, and silver medalist Joe Kovacs are both expected to compete. Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Katie Nageotte is expected to headline the women’s pole vault event this weekend.

Following Crouser’s Olympic record shot put of 23.30 meters in Tokyo, NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard said: “That’s like taking a bowling ball, going to the free throw line, turning around and trying to throw a three-quarters shot the other direction. It’s impressive athleticism and strength.”

NBC Sports’ 2021 USATF Journey to Gold – Tokyo Outdoor Series coverage featured five U.S.-based events, which began April 24.

NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard will call the event, joined by four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon, four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross, Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee, and two-time Olympian Des Linden as analysts, and Lewis Johnson as a reporter.

NBC Sports Continues as the Long-Term U.S. Home of Global Track and Field through 2029; Partnership Features Next Five World Athletics Championships 

NBC Sports’ to Present First-Ever World Athletics Championships Held in U.S. – July 2022 in Eugene, Oregon

STAMFORD, Conn. & MONACO – November 23, 2020 – NBC Sports Group and World Athletics have partnered on a media rights agreement that provides NBC Sports Group with exclusive multi-platform media rights to World Athletics Series events through 2029, both parties announced today.

The new agreement extends the previous World Athletics-NBC Sports partnership, which now includes the next five installments of the World Athletics Championships, the sport’s marquee track and field event.

The 2022 competition will take place in the U.S. for the first time, from July 15-24, 2022, at the iconic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. NBC Sports has also televised most of the previous World Athletics Championships, beginning with the inaugural event in Helsinki in 1983.

“The World Athletics Championships Oregon22 will be an historic occasion for our sport and we are delighted to have such a trusted broadcast partner by our side to showcase our sport in the United States,’’ said World Athletics president Sebastian Coe. “The next decade presents a tremendous opportunity for us to build our American fanbase for track and field by highlighting the amazing athletes the U.S. produces, and telling their stories as they take on the greatest athletes from around the globe. NBC Sports’ ability to take fans inside those must-watch moments will be vital to our efforts.”

“We are thrilled to extend our long-term partnership with World Athletics,” said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics. “Track & Field is a cornerstone of the Olympic program, and with the World Championships coming to the U.S. for the first time ever in Eugene in 2022 and a group of young and talented American stars on the rise, we couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to deliver these events and tell their stories for years to come.”

The new agreement, delivered with the support of World Athletics’ global commercial partner, Dentsu Inc, covers every official world championship in track and field, road and cross-country events until 2029.

The following events will be presented across NBC Sports platforms:

    • Five World Athletics Championships
    • Five World Athletics Indoor Championships
    • Five World Athletics Cross Country Championships
    • Five World Athletics Relays
    • Five World Athletics Half Marathon / Road Running Championships
    • Five World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships

NBC SPORTS PRESENTS LIVE COVERAGE OF THE LONDON MARATHON THIS SUN., OCT. 4, AT 2 A.M. ET ON NBCSN

By

Men’s and Women’s World Record Holders Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid Kosgei of Kenya Highlight the Elite Field

Sara Hall, Jared Ward & Molly Seidel Set to Lead American Contingent

Live Coverage Streamed on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app and NBC Sports Gold’s “Track and Field Pass”

All Olympic Sports Coverage Across NBC Sports Platforms is Presented by Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA

STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 1, 2020 – NBC Sports Group presents live coverage of the London Marathon, featuring with the women’s and men’s races this Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 a.m. ET (Saturday, Oct. 3 at 11 p.m. PT) on NBCSN. The race will also stream live on NBC Sports Gold’s “Track and Field Pass.”

Reigning Olympic gold medalist and current marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge (Kenya) and Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele are expected to headline the men’s field in a highly anticipated showdown between the two fastest marathoners of all-time. In October 2019, Kipchoge, a four-time London Marathon winner, broke the two-hour barrier for the marathon in an unsanctioned event in Austria; this will be his first marathon since that race. Bekele was just two seconds shy of Kipchoge’s world record when he won the 2019 Berlin Marathon. 2016 Olympian Jared Ward is the only American entered in the men’s field.

Three Kenyans highlight the women’s field: world record holder and defending London Marathon winner Brigid Kosgei, reigning world marathon champion Ruth Chepngetich and 2016 Olympic 5000m gold medalist and 2018 London Marathon winner Vivian Cheruiyot. Americans Molly Seidel, who earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic marathon team after finishing second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials in February, and Sara Hall, the sixth-fastest American in marathon history, will also compete.

The race will be held on a closed-loop circuit of 19.6 laps around St James’s Park in central London, passing Horse Guards Parade and Buckingham Palace. No spectators will be allowed.

Paul Swangard calls the action, joined by analysts Deena Kastor, the American record-holder and 2006 London Marathon winner, and Amy Cragg, the 2017 world marathon bronze medalist.

In addition, on Sunday, Oct. 4, Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA presents live coverage of the London Marathon’s wheelchair races at 8 a.m. ET, and an encore presentation Monday, Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
