Guys and Gals,
Hey, this is Ryan from Flotrack touching base after a great NCAA and US outdoor season. So far this season has been our best yet and it was capped off last week at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships with the USATF - Flotrack partnership and Live stream from Eugene, OR. This was the first time that every single race from a US Outdoor Track and Field Championship could be seen online and/or on TV. We had a blast doing it and I can't wait until we do it again. This is just the start of the 2009 Outdoor season. The summer Professional Circuit begins in Oslo on Friday as the athletes fine tune their events for the World Championships in August. This summer we will work with Universal Sports and the IAAF to cover as many races as possible. David Williams and I will be traveling the circuit through July and then Mark will join me at the 2009 Berlin World Championships in August.
David is already over seas getting content and I am sitting in the Newark Airport waiting for my flight to Oslo, which will be my first stop in the IAAF Series. We have an ambitious schedule crisscrossing the continent and we will make sure to document every meet, missed train, local dish and bike rental. With our Universal Sports partnership we will be doing Interviews and behind the scenes footage from the IAAF events while Universal Sports will be showing the races. Here is what our partners at Universal wanted you to know.
2009 TRACK AND FIELD COVERAGE ON UNIVERSAL SPORTS: Universal Sports television and UniversalSports.com will offer video coverage of the complete outdoor 2009 IAAF track field season, with the Golden League and Super Grand Prix events featuring the top track field athletes in the world.
