STAMFORD, Conn. – June 22, 2022 – NBC Sports’ “Summer of Speed” continues this weekend when it presents live coverage of the USATF Outdoor Championships with six hours of semifinals and finals coverage over three days from the iconic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Live coverage begins this Friday, June 24, at 10 p.m. ET on CNBC with qualifying rounds for numerous events as well as the finals for both the men’s and women’s 100 meters.

Track & field coverage runs from June 24-June 26, featuring two windows of competition airing on NBC (June 25-26). Live coverage of the track & field trials concludes on Sunday, June 26, at 4 p.m. ET on NBC with a multitude of events, including the men’s 200m and women’s 800m finals. In addition, Peacock will simulstream all live coverage on NBC, with full simulstreaming of NBC, USA Network and CNBC programming available on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

This meet will determine which U.S. athletes will get the opportunity to represent their country at the World Track & Field Championships Oregon22 at Hayward Field in July, where they will face off against an elite slate of international competition made up of Olympic champions, world record holders, and global medalists.

In her final professional season, 11-time Olympic medalist and 13-time world champion Allyson Felix is slated to compete in the 400m. She has made every world and Olympic team for the U.S. since 2003. Beyond Felix, the U.S. has a slew of top-tier athletes looking to continue their dominance on the domestic stage, such as Tokyo Olympic champion and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin, two-time Olympic champion and shot put world record holder Ryan Crouser, two-time Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu, Tokyo silver medalist Kenny Bednarek, and Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist and reigning 200m world champion Noah Lyles. Other Olympic medalists expected to compete are Fred Kerley, Emma Coburn, Grant Holloway, Gabby Thomas, Dalilah Muhammad, Rai Benjamin, Courtney Frerichs, Michael Norman, Valarie Allman, and Clayton Murphy, among others.

This meet also provides a platform for rising stars to showcase their talents on a major competitive stage, such as high school phenom Erriyon Knighton, who ran the fourth-fastest 200m time in history in April, and Abby Steiner, the University of Kentucky standout who recently won the 200m and the 4x400m relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Also expected to compete in this meet is two-time Olympian Devon Allen, who ran the third-fastest 110m hurdles time in history at the NYC Grand Prix in June, and Sha’Carri Richardson, the 2019 NCAA champion from LSU who became the sixth-fastest woman in history over 100m last year.

NBC Sports’ Leigh Diffey and Paul Swangard will call the event, joined by analysts four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon, four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross, two-time Olympic marathoner Kara Goucher, and 2012 Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee.

June 15, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

First-Ever Outdoor World Championships in United States from University of Oregon’s Hayward Field to be Presented Across NBC, Peacock, USA Network and CNBC

Four Weekend Nights of Live Primetime Coverage on NBC Broadcast Network

Extensive Streaming Coverage Across Peacock During 10-Day Event

STAMFORD, Conn. – June 15, 2022 – One month from today, the World Track & Field Championships Oregon22 will begin from the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field and will be presented across numerous networks and platforms of NBCUniversal. It will be the first time the outdoor World Championships will ever be held in the U.S. and NBC Sports will utilize NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC and NBC Sports digital platforms to provide extensive coverage.

In total, NBC Sports will present 43 hours of television coverage plus extensive streaming coverage throughout the 10-day championship meet including four nights of live primetime weekend coverage (July 16-17, July 23-24) and four days of live afternoon weekend coverage (July 16-17, July 23-24) on the NBC broadcast network.

Peacock will stream all competition sessions from Eugene, including exclusive live primetime coverage on July 18 and July 19. In addition, Peacock will simulstream all live coverage on NBC, with full simulstreaming of NBC, USA Network and CNBC programming available on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

USA Network will provide coverage primarily for full competition sessions during weekdays in primetime, while CNBC will have two windows during the first weekend of the meet. Specific tune-in details across all networks and platforms will be announced soon. For a full event schedule, click here.

The prestigious meet will be held at University of Oregon’s iconic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., which re-opened its doors in 2021 after undergoing major renovations from 2018-2020 that have cemented its status as one of track & field’s premiere venues for international competition.

Dubbed “TrackTown USA,” Eugene and the University of Oregon have hosted multiple U.S. and NCAA championship meets and Diamond League competitions, making it only fitting that it hosts the first-ever outdoor World Championships in the U.S., which was originally scheduled for 2021, but was delayed after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics postponement.

NBC Sports and World Athletics agreed to a long-term media rights extension in November 2020 that will keep World Athletics track & field on NBC through 2029, with the World Track & Field Championships Oregon22 being the first of five outdoor World Championships that will be showcased on the network over the next seven years (2022, 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029). NBC will also present the next four indoor World Championships, World Athletics Relays, and World Athletics Under 20 World Championships, as well as the next five World Athletics Cross Country Championships and World Athletics Half Marathon Championships.

In addition to the World Championships, NBC Sports is set to present six hours of coverage of the U.S. Outdoor Championships across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, and CNBC from June 24-26. This national championship meet will be held at Hayward Field, with the top athletes in the U.S. all vying for spots on the prestigious team that will be sent to compete at the World Championships later that summer.

Galen Rupp and Sara Hall Set to Lead American Contingent in Chicago; Boston Field Highlighted by 2018 Boston Marathon Champion Des Linden & 2019 Boston Marathon Third-Place finisher Jordan Hasay

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.

August 18, 2021 By admin

Live 90-Minute NBC Show Begins at 4:30 p.m. ET; Peacock Begins Live Coverage at 4 p.m. ET, and Presents Live Stream of NBC Coverage

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.
