Berlin won't be on Universal Sports; we had bad information. The German stream will be available and there will be a link on the Majors site soon, if there isn't already.

Seriously, they're showing Haile's movie? Even on Showtime Extreme? I thought that thing had sunk without a trace, despite having about half an hour of the best running footage ever (and about an hour of terrifyingly dull Ethiopian ethnography).

The news article on the Majors' site has been updated. The stream for Berlin will be at http://www.n-tv.de/mediathek/livestream . My source: http://worldmarathonmajors.com/US/news/257/
