I am surprised to see that the sport of Track and Field, known internationally as Athletics has been ommitted from the Olympic Games broadcast schedule above, w/ the exception of the Men’s and Women’s Marathons. Is this in error? If this is an error and Track and Field will be broacast, will it be streamed or via cable or antenna broadcast?
If Track and Field is ommitted as described above, this is a travesity – an omission of monumental proportion!
