Hi,
With Vancouver BG Triathlon World Championship and Blenheim this weekend it's a great weekend for triathlon. Is any of it on TV? The Vancouver website says the BBC and Channel 5 are covering the event, but I can't find it in any TV schedule.
I was really hoping to set my set top box before heading off to compete in at Blenheim.
Does anyone know of any TV listings?
Cheers...

I aws wondering myself, but at least with it on there is less temptation to stop & watch some box 'Anything on tonight?' is now a superflous question, add in the inevitable series endings & the US writers strike cutting series short..great. lets get out there in the sum (a man can hope) & train, relax, train some more, a summer of sport--participation.
best time to ride the bike is when a major match is on, the roads are dead.
Even some of the top athletes have other careers, i remember one guy being a lawyer aswell? Anyone know who that is? I think hes one of the canadians?!?!?
Seriously: if it's on the beeb at pointless o'clock you can probably catch up with it on BBC iPlayer.
I managed to see loads of the cycling from Manchester, a lot of the swimming, and I caught the cross-country champs too using iPlayer.
you can catch the coverage of Vancouver on Tricast live, check out the schedule on http://www.triathlon.org/?call=TVRnNQ==&keep=sh
It really does piss me off that what I consider the greatest sport you can do is given such poor coverage! But I guess thats triathletes all over, understated supremacy!
It's not just triathlon - as a nation we achieve so much in other sports and not a peep on the Beeb and other networks. I am sure those involved in say gliding, parachuting, squash, surfing etc are equally furious at the lack of recognition of their sports achievements.
