For the first time ever, multisport fans can watch top triathletes in the US take aim at a national title when VERSUS televises the 2010 USA Triathlon Elite National Championships on Thursday 14 October, from 16:00-18:00 EDT.
The September 25 event in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will be aired via tape-delay on the sports cable network and will feature nearly 70 top men’s and women’s American triathletes. Veteran Olympic and Tour de France broadcaster Craig Hummer will call the action, while 2004 US Olympic triathlete Barb Lindquist will report directly from the course.
“We’re thrilled that VERSUS will televise the 2010 USA Triathlon Elite National Championships for our members, as well multisport fans across the country,” said Chuck Menke, USA Triathlon Director of Marketing & Communications.
“This represents the first-ever television broadcast of a USA Triathlon National Championship event to a nationwide audience. We’d also like to thank the United States Olympic Committee for being instrumental in this process.”
VERSUS, in more than 75 million US homes, is available to every cable provider, as well as on DirecTV (channel 603) and Dish Network (channel 151).
