If you’re looking for TV coverage of the non-elite races and are based in the UK then it’s not good news – the BBC are only offering live coverage of the elite male and female races, on BBC Two. Same goes for the ITU’s online video service triathlonlive.tv. BT Sport subscribers can also watch the elite races live.
We’ll be covering all the action live from Chicago over the next few days – keep an eye on the 220 website and our Twitter feed for all the latest news and results.
