Here is a video from the European Athletics Federation. The 2015 European Indoor Athletics will be my third, and I truly enjoy these events. Some great running, jumping and throwing, and most importantly, the European Federation is really doing some fine social media and video to reach out to younger fans.
The streaming video of the European Athletics events are very high quality. As in the US, most of Europe has athletics on paid TV, instead of terrestrial TV. For our sport to grow, we need Athletics on free TV, and streaming video is helping get the word out. Also, check out the social media on European Athletics site. They provide great photos, some small videos and fun twitter and FB.

He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
