Yay! First news available now of the BBC TV coverage of the Nanning Championships. Starting on Tuesday 7th October at 3.00 pm until 5.15 pm BST, BBC2 will be covering the men's team final. Gymnastics will be covered at the same time every day of that week. Still waiting to hear what the weekend schedule will be.
Given the time difference between Nanning and London it looks as though this is delayed live coverage of the events. If there is further news about live red button coverage I will update this page.
Further live coverage of event finals has now been confirmed :
BBC1 on Saturday 11th October, 2.20 to 3.50pm
BBC2 on Sunday 12th October, 4.00 to 5.30pm
Red button coverage begins at 12pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 12.35 on Friday. Saturday and Sunday times yet to be published.
In the United States, USAGymWorlds.com also has live streaming of podium training and qualifications. This coverage is exclusive to the USA unless you can find IP protection. Times are US eastern.

well done
ReplyDeleteUSAG always does a live feed of PT, TF, EF. But i know this is geoblocked so if you know this is a problem every year please use a IP address changer from now. Look around and find a good one so you're not panicking the day of competition.

ReplyDeleteDear Gymnastics Fansā¦
Dear gymnastics fans,
Last year, we delivered live webcasts from the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp. It was the first time ā as far as I can remember ā that live coverage of podium training or qualification had ever been available in the United States.
We want to once again deliver live coverage of both podium training and qualification from 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Nanning, China. The biggest challenge in delivering this kind of coverage is going into a venue that we are unfamiliar with and working out any issues we may encounter.
Why am I telling you this? First, so that (hopefully) youāll bear with us as we navigate any technical issues we may run into ā this will be especially important during podium training. And second, so you can plan. Hereās the schedule of sessions we hope to stream from Nanning:
Sept. 30
5-7:15 a.m. ET ā Menās Podium Training, Sub. 9
Oct. 1
6-7:45 a.m. ET ā Womenās Podium Training, Sub. 5
Oct. 3
2:30-4:45 a.m. ET ā Menās Qualifying, Sub. 3 (China)
8-10:15 a.m. ET ā Menās Qualifying, Sub. 5 (Great Britain)
11:30 p.m. ā 1:45 a.m. ET ā Menās Qualifying, Sub. 7 (Japan)
Oct. 4
5-7:15 a.m. ET ā Menās Qualifying, Sub. 9 (USA)
9-10:45 p.m. ET ā Womenās Qualifying, Sub. 1 (Russia)
Oct. 5
6-7:45 a.m. ET ā Womenās Qualifying, Sub. 5 (USA)
11 p.m. ā 12:45 a.m. ET ā Womenās Qualifying, Sub. 8 (China)
Oct. 6
3:30-5:15 a.m. ET ā Womenās Qualifying, Sub. 10 (Romania, Great Britain)
Live coverage of the medal rounds will be available once again through our partnership with Universal Sports. Fans will be able to watch a feed on USAGymWorlds.com, for free and without authentication, beginning at 7 a.m. ET on Oct. 7 with the menās team final.
One note, as the United States rights holders for the Worlds, all of our coverage will only be available stateside.

Hi Queen Elizabeth, it looks like it has been updated in that the US does plan to cover live feeds of each of the WAG qualifying sessions that has a major team to focus on, so this includes the first session with Russia! For anyone not stateside that knows how to use a different IP to get access I hope everyone gets to watch and that the info they provided is correct! fingers crossed =)

Thank you.
DeleteFeed geoblocking by USA Gymnastics is a real disgrace. Could they explain how that would hurt anybody's business if they authorised gymnastics videos all around the world ?
ReplyDeleteThis is so stupid...
This won't be USA Gymnastics' decision. Whoever assigns broadcast rights (be it the FIG, the local organising committee or whoever) will not want to give away exclusive worldwide streaming rights in case other bodies or institutions come forward, wanting to transmit in ither territories. It is a simple matter of money making.
DeleteI share your sense of frustration, however, that these broadcasts are nit made available to us legitimately, worldwide. As a ling time fan I would be happy to pay the FIG a modest subscription to secure access to online streaming of podium training, quals, and World Cup competitions that are nit covered in my territory. Surely such an arrangement can't be far off?
