I just get a black screen with no video, anyone else having problems?
Dave - where are you watching from?
-bc
it just came on after i posted… thanks!
Great! If anyone has feed problems, please send me an email at brad.culp@triathlon.org and let me know what country you’re watching from and we’ll get it sorted.
Enjoy the race - HUGE crowd here in Hamburg today. Germans know a thing or two about putting on a race. Hard to believe we have over 12,000 age groupers in Hamburg this weekend and over 3,000 going long in Roth.

To all at ITU,
I’ve really enjoyed following your highlights video’s for the last year and a bit! Thank you!
Any chance you might go back to the previous longer format? Or have an option to watch a 10minute highlight video?
DraughtHorse,
Thanks for the kind words. Will a six-minute highlight video do? Just posted here: http://www.triathlon.org/news/article/gomez_runs_to_hamburg_win/

Really liked the commentary accompanying the other WCS races in Sydney, Madrid, but didn’t get any sound this time ? Was there any commentary in Hamburg ?
Diabolo,
That’s strange - there definitely should’ve been commentary. Haven’t heard of any other problems. Where were you watching?

Gorgeous!
DraughtHorse - You can also check out our “shots of the day” on the homepage. Just go to www.triathlon.org and scroll down to the video player at the bottom of the page. It’s the first video on the player (“best action moments from Hamburg men’s race”). Even more gorgeous, IMHO.
Also, if anyone would like to follow today’s women’s race on twitter, just a reminder that we’ve switched the race day coverage to @triathlonlive. You can still get all non race day tweets by following @ITUOnline. Also, USAT is here in Hamburg tweeting away. Follow @SSchnitzspahn or @usatriathlon.
Women’s race gets underway in about 3 hours (3:15 local time). Click here to see what time that is for you. As always, live video is available for free at www.triathlon.org/tv
Enjoy the show. As always, please send me an email at brad.culp@triathlon.org if you have any feed problems and we’ll try to get it fixed asap.

Dont’ worry, I’ve watched pretty much every video on there. The ultra-slow-mo’s, TdF-esque copter shots and dramatic music are a nice addition!
There are 3 helicopters shooting in Hamburg this weekend - very cool to see. When it comes to triathlon, beer, and sausage, Germany is pretty hard to beat.
Enjoy the women’s race.

Were just watching from home computer (same as for the other races), in Switzerland. Went as usual to the triathlonlive.tv website, entered my e-mail and password, then clicked on the live link for Hamburg men’s race. That’s it. But no sound this time (and the sound was at max on both my computer and the feature at the bottom of the screen on your live stream).
Diabolo - I’ll notify our audio guys and see if they can get to the bottom of it. Shoot me an e-mail (brad.culp@triathlon.org) if you have any problems today.
Thanks for the heads up,
