This is like the 5th time in 3 months they were supposed to show some sort of triathlon but didn’t. Every time the newspaper says ‘Ironman XXX’, the digital cable says 'Ironman XXX", but they end up showing some crappy soccer or some other sport.

I haven’t noticed this happening with any other broadcasts. I guess they have something against triathlon.

Personally I think Eurosport > Espn by 1000000000x. ESPN is just a crappy channel with a hundred commercials every minute that has the worst commentary by far.

ESPN’s program directive:

“If it’s got a ball we show it all.”

I love ESPN, but certainly not for it’s tri coverage. I’m a big football, basketball, and golf fan, though.

I wish track and field was bigger in the states. Definitely my favorite sport to watch.

That is why I watch OLN and Fit TV. Atleast OLN tries to cover triathlons, and from what I have seen, does a good job of it.
