This is my first year actively following Canadian Track & Field and I am stunned at the bias in coverage by Athletics Canada towards the track events. Field events are clearly used as filler between track events. It was hugely frustrating to have a field final interrupted so we could rush back to a track heat!! In addition, the video archive for the National Championships contains 2 field event videos out of a total of 274 (that's 0.7%!) Perhaps its a funding thing but its not unreasonable to imagine field events taking on more popularity in Canada and consequently getting more participation and funding if organizing bodies like Athletics Canada actually put an effort into making them more visible.

Completely agree with this - it's systemic. There was essentially no coverage of the Senior Men's High Jump competition - even though there were Olympic level athletes (Mike Mason) competing. Also comments from the commentators that they were going to the field events 'while there was a break in the action' clearly indicates that they don't see the field events as 'action'. My son is a high jumper and I am often forced to catch glimpses of him as the camera follows runners around the track. Given that Canada has World Champions in both High Jump and Pole Vault, it's very disappointing that these and other field events are given so little attention.

I also find this upsetting, as a fan of field events.

Women's PV yesterday with 3 Olympians had no coverage, yet showing men's PV warm up now where only 1 athlete has hit world standard. AC needs to get their priorities straight. Speechless with how horrible the live stream this week has been going.

257 videos on-demand and none on throwing events ... BIG SHAME on AC admnistration showing that they don't give a s*** about field event.

Are they going to show the race walking?

That ain't track and field ... that's track coverage only ... com'on only 2 vids on-demand for field events ... Sorry Athletics Canada but you seriously failed in your only job that is to promote Track AND FIELD ... No throwing events at all but hours and hours or running ...

The CIS/USPORTS does a better job at their nationals with live stream.

the link to the field event videos did not work for me and they cannot be found on a search through runnerspace+ either... just saw one video of pole vault that is on the left here--thanks
trackie519
Is it possible to show some other events when the runners are getting ready for the next heat?!
Lahbe
where can I watch the women's pole-vault?
pfisher
I'm wondering the same thing!!!!

"We are filming many of the field events for on-demand viewing. They can be found here - http://www.athletics...=3809&year=2017" in other words they aren't shown live... on a live stream.
Hammer93
Can you please show Senior Women's Hammer throw?????
