This event is shot live and on Sunday we will have full course video coverage, following the athletes every step of the way.  The host broadcaster is Okinawa TV (OTV) and will have 10 cameras on the course to follow the action. Of these 10 we will have 1 helicopter camera, 1 boat camera and 2 motorcycles to follow the athletes along the out and back section. We will not have live commentary from this event but we will have live text and also live timing provided by the Japanese Triathlon Union.
